parenthetical notes (see 16.4.3). You do not need to include these works in your bibliography.For citations from the Bible, include the abbreviated name of the book, the chapter number,and the verse number—never a page number. Depending on the context, you may use eithertraditional or shorter abbreviations for the names of books (see 24.6); consult your instructorif you are unsure which form is appropriate. Use arabic numerals for chapter and versenumbers (with a colon between them) and for numbered books.Traditional abbreviations:N: 4. 1 Thess. 4:11, 5:2–5, 5:14.Shorter abbreviations:N: 5. 2 Sm 11:1–17, 11:26–27; 1 Chr 10:13–14.Since books and numbering differ among versions of the scriptures, identify the versionyou are using in your first citation, either with the spelled-out name or an acceptedabbreviation (see 24.6.4).N: 6. 2 Kings 11:8 (New Revised Standard Version).7. 1 Cor. 6:1–10 (NAB).For citations from the sacred works of other religious traditions, adapt the general pattern forbiblical citations as appropriate (see 24.6.5).17.5.3 Reference WorksWell-known reference works, such as major dictionaries and encyclopedias, should usually becited only in notes. You generally need not include them in your bibliography, although youmay choose to include a specific work that is critical to your argument or frequently cited.Within the note, you may omit the facts of publication, but you must specify the edition (if notthe first). For an alphabetically arranged work such as an encyclopedia, cite the item (not thevolume or page number) preceded by s.v. (sub verbo, “under the word”; pl. s.vv.)N: 1. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 15th ed., s.v. “Salvation.”2. Dictionary of American Biography, s.v. “Wadsworth, Jeremiah.”For reference works that are less well known, include the publication details in your notes,and list the work in your bibliography.N: 3. The Times Guide to English Style and Usage, rev. ed. (London: Times Books, 1999), s.vv. “policeranks,” “postal addresses.”B: Aulestia, Gorka. Basque English Dictionary. Reno: University of Nevada Press, 1989.Online versions of encyclopedias are regularly updated, so include both the URL and thedate you accessed the material (see 15.4.1). Note that some reference works will indicate theappropriate URL to cite for a specific entry; use this rather than the less stable URL generatedby search engines.N: 1.
