Manuscript formatting templates
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2020 2:02 pm
As far as I know (feel free to correct me), the valid date formatting methods are:
XXXX
n.d.
n.d.(ca.XXXX) / n.d.(before XXXX) / n.d.(after XXXX)
n.d.(ca.XXXX-YYYY) / n.d.(ca.XXXX-YY)
n.d.[XXXX]
n.d.[XXXX-YYYY] / n.d.[XXXX-YY]
As far as I know, these are the 4 formatting templates for descriptions of manuscript files:
Mss & MssD for manuscripts.
MssAu & MssUA for holograph/autograph manuscripts.
Quick outline of the date formatting not supported in total by each type of template:
Manuscript (Mss& MssD):
n.d.[XXXX-YYYY] / n.d.[XXXX-YY] NOT SUPPORTED
Holograph manuscript (MssAu & MssUA):
n.d.(ca.XXXX-YYYY) / n.d.(ca.XXXX-YY),
n.d.[XXXX-YYYY] / n.d.[ca.XXXX-YY],
n.d.(before XXXX) / n.d.(after XXXX)
ABOVE NOT SUPPORTED
So the question is: Is there another manuscript template I haven't mentioned that supports the ones I pointed out above?
Or should a new template be created?
XXXX
n.d.
n.d.(ca.XXXX) / n.d.(before XXXX) / n.d.(after XXXX)
n.d.(ca.XXXX-YYYY) / n.d.(ca.XXXX-YY)
n.d.[XXXX]
n.d.[XXXX-YYYY] / n.d.[XXXX-YY]
