Bibliography
A bibliography is a complete list of the references used in a piece of academic writing. The sources should be listed in alphabetical order by the surname of the author or editor. Where there is more than one author or editor, the name of the first should be used to place the work. A bibliographical entry should not end with a full stop.
Unlike a reference in a footnote, the given names and surnames of the author or editor are reversed. Where there are multiple authors, only the first name should be reversed.
Example
Frend, W.H.C., The Donatist Church: A Movement of Protest in Roman North Africa (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1952)
Nietzsche, Friedrich, The Birth of Tragedy and Other Writings, ed. by Raymond Guess and Ronald Speirs (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999)
Lancel, Serge, Saint Augustine, trans. by Antonia Nevill (London: SCM, 2002)
Leone, Anna, Evolution and Change: Town and Country in Late Antique North Africa (unpublished doctoral thesis, University of Leicester, 2001)
Mattingly D.J., 'Libyans and the "Limes": Culture and Society in Roman Tripolitania', Antiquités africaines, 23 (1987), 71-94
Shaw Brent D., 'Who Were the Circumcellions?' in Vandals, Romans and Berbers: New Perspectives on Late Antique North Africa ed. by A. H. Merrills (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004), pp. 227-58
Books with editors
Where a book has been referenced in a note with the title first, the title and editor's names should be reversed, and the name should be followed by 'ed.' or 'trans'.
Example
Christie, Neil, ed., Landscapes of Change: Rural Evolutions in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004)
Soffe, Richard J., ed., Primrose McConnell's The Agricultural Notebook, 20th edn, (Oxford: Blackwell, 2003)
Multiple works by the same author
When several works by the same author are included in the bibliography, they should be listed in date order, with the most recent first. The earlier works should be indented with a horizontal line or hyphen in place of the title.
Example
Brown, Peter, The World of Late Antiquity: AD150-750 (London: Thames and Hudson, 1971)
- 'Religious Dissent in the Later Roman Empire: The Case of North Africa', History, 46 (1961), 83-101
