RULES CONCERNING FOOTNOTES
1. Formatting the text of footnotes: interlinear space: single; first indent: 1.25 cm; font: 10.

2. In the case when the reference mark meets with a comma, a semicolon, or a period, the reference mark should be placed before the punctuation mark (with the exception of abbreviations).

3. The following abbreviations are used in footnotes: ibidem, idem (Latin) or the ones that correspond to a given language. Abbreviation “cf” [confer] should be used only in cases, when the quotation is not literal but a paraphrase. If a given footnote needs to use “cf.” multiple times, then it can be used interchangeably with “v.” [vide] or “see”.

4. When citing ancient texts, the name of the author and the title (italics) should always be in Latin followed by localization (chapters, paragraphs, etc.).
Examples:
Paulinus, Vita S. Ambrosii 3, 6.

5. When citing articles from a periodical the following order should be maintained: first name initial and last name of the author, title of the text (italics), title of the periodical in quotation marks or the abbreviation of the title without quotation marks (if it is found in the list of abbreviations used in “Vox Patrum”), annual volume, year of the edition (in parentheses), number and issue in Arabic numerals (omitted if the periodical has continuous pagination), and page numbers.
Examples:
M. Simonetti, Ancora sul concilio di Alessandria del 362, e dintorni, „Augustinianum” 50 (2010) p. 15-25.
J.P. Rey-Coquais, Le calendrier employé par Eusèbe de Césarée dans Martyrs de Palestine, AnBol 96 (1978) p. 55-64.

6. When citing articles from the collected works the following order should be maintained: first name initial and last name of the author, title (italics), “in:” after the comma, title of the collected works (italics), first name initial and last name of the editor or editors, a possible series name, place and year of the edition followed by page numbers.
Example:
B. Fischer, Hat Ambrosius von Mailand in der Woche zwischen seiner Taufe un seiner Bischofskonsekration andere Weihen empfangen?, in: Kyriakon. Festschrift Johannes Quasten, ed. P. Granfield - J. Jungmann, vol. 2, Münster 1970, p. 527-531.

7. When citing entries from dictionaries or encyclopedias the following order should be maintained: first name initial and last name of the author, title (italics), abbreviation of the dictionary or encyclopedia, volume (Roman numeral), and pages or columns (in case there is no abbreviation of the given dictionary or encyclopedia on the “Vox Patrum” list, the full description should be included).
Examples:
F. Bolgiani, Encratismo, DPAC I 1151-1155.
H. Chadwick, Enkrateia, RACh V 343-365.

8. When citing the same work multiple times in the same text, the following order should be used: last name of the author, abbreviation of the title (italics) and “p.” followed by the page number.
Example:
Simonetti, Ancora sul concilio di Alessandria, p. 18.

9. In the case of using translations, the first name initial and the last name of the translator should always be included.
Example:
H. von Campenhausen, Les Pères grecs, transl. O. Marbach, Paris 1963, p. 174.

10. Bibliographical descriptions included in a text or a footnote should be enclosed in parentheses. If an idea of a given author is included in a footnote, then the full description of the work in the parentheses should be included after the name of the author when the citation occurs for the first time (for citing multiple times see point “e” above).
Example:
J. Hefele (Histoire des conciles, vol. I/1, Paris 1907, p. 532-536) explains this problem and gives the list of bishops who were ordained in a short time after their baptism.
11. When citing some author not literally, then the abbreviation “cf.” [confer] should be used. If the citation is used multiple times in the same footnote, then it is permissible to used “cf.” and “v.” [vide] interchangeably.
12. The list of abbreviations used in our periodical is published in “Vox Patrum” 48 (2005) p. 437-449 or on our website: voxpatrum.pl/pdfy/wvkaz.pdf.
