Author’s Note
A brief note modelled on this note:
JACOB KLEIN (1899–1978) received his Ph.D. from the University of Marburg (Germany) in 1922. His major work, “Die griechische Logistik und die Entstehung der Algebra,” was published in two parts in Quellen und Studien zur Geschichte der Mathematik, Astronomie und Physik in 1934 and 1936 (English translation, Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra, 1968). From 1938 until the time of his death he was a Tutor at St. John’s College, Annapolis. From 1949 to 1958 he was Dean. He is also the author of Commentary on the Meno (1965) and Plato’s Trilogy (1977). Most of his lectures and essays have been published in Jacob Klein: Lectures and Essays (1985).
(5) Pagination and Spacing
Manuscripts should be formatted using double spacing, with pages numbered consecutively throughout.
Verbal Style and Spelling
Spelling: Preferred spelling follows North American spelling and punctuation, but contributors may opt to use British or Canadian standards of spelling but must stipulate this at the time of their submission. Please note that -ize spellings should be used (recognize, emphasize, organization, etc. BUT analyse, exercise, etc.). Square brackets should be used within parentheses, to indicate the major text inserted into a quotation by the author (e.g., [sic]), and should also be used to contain the citation of an original, transliterated term translated. In this case, the foreign word should not be italicized.
Numerals: Numerals are written out in full when they are ten or below, when they begin a sentence and when they are an even hundred, thousand, million, etc. But sometimes it is better to have consistency rather than follow this rule. Numbers of centuries should always be written out in full: twenty-first century; nineteenth century etc.
Numerals in references, and in particular volume numbers should be given in Arabic rather than Roman format (2 instead of II). Please use the en-dash (not hyphens) to connect numbers, e.g. “In Genesis 6:13–22 we find God’s instruction to Noah.”
Possessives: For possessives of proper names ending in a (pronounced) s add ‟s, e.g., Childs’s Introduction, Jones’s views. The exception is for ancient names, e.g., Jesus’, Moses’, Barthes’, Descartes’ etc.
Use: focused, focusing etc., (not focussed, focussing); first, secondly, or first, second (but not firstly); acknowledgment, judgment; analyse (but analyze in American spelling) ‘E.g.,’ and ‘i.e.,’ are only permissible in the body of the text if they introduce a list or are within parentheses. Likewise, please avoid ‘etc’., unless it is in a footnote. Please do not use op. cit., idem and avoid ibid. Avoid ‘f.’ and ‘ff.’ whenever possible through reference to exact pagination.
Headings
All headings should be left-aligned, and if more than one level is used should be distinguished by type style, e.g., roman for first-level head; italics for a second-level head.
Paragraph styles
Paragraph styles from Microsoft Word do not convert easily or reliably for use in other applications, and this complicates the process of editing a manuscript for publication. We therefore ask that you avoid using paragraph styles. Keep the text formatted as simply as possible. If you wish to distinguish among different levels in your article, do so simply with appropriate headings rather than with paragraph styles. Avoid automatically numbered lists. Indent extended quotations and use hanging indent for bibliographic entries, but otherwise format paragraphs consistently.
Fonts and Font Styles
Use Times (or Times New Roman) 12 pt as the font for the main text. Papers containing Greek or other non-Latin characters should be submitted both in Word and as a PDF (supplementary file). Please double-space all materials, except footnotes, which may be singled-spaced.
NB: Papers with Greek must use a Unicode Greek font, such as that available from Linguist’s Software (www.linguistsoftware.com/lgku.htm).
Captions
Every figure/image/diagram/table/equation should have a numbered caption (e.g., Fig. 1. Description of the object)
Use the following fonts, where required, for special purposes:
- Concordances and transcripts should be set in courier;
- Special symbols should be set in a symbol font (as far as possible, use only one such font throughout the manuscript);
- Text in a language which uses a non-roman writing system (e.g., Mandarin, Arabic) may need a special language font (see instructions below);
- Use italics to show which words need to be set in italics, NOT underlining. (This is so underlining can be used as a separate style in linguistic examples and transcripts, where needed).
Foreign Words and Phrases
In general, foreign words and phrases, both in main text and endnotes should be provided in translation, followed by the transliterated foreign word in square brackets. Non-English words should always be in italics. Thus: house [bayt]. Where essential to the text, ancient languages may be included, but should be reproduced in their appropriate fonts, followed by an English translation in parentheses, rather than transliteration.
Footnotes
Please use footnotes only. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text (using the automatic footnote feature in Word). All bibliographic information should be contained in the notes and also a separate list of references should be also be included as a supplementary file.
References
Full references must always be given the first time the author mentions a work. The author-date reference system is not used in the Yearbook. Once a full reference to a text has been provided, any subsequent reference to it should include only author surname, a short form of the title, and relevant page numbers. When abbreviations of titles or volumes will be used, whether in the notes or in the main text, the abbreviation should be indicated immediately after the first full reference (see examples under ‘Books’ and ‘Translations’: “Henceforth . . .”). If the author translates the non-English language texts him/herself or occasionally deviates from available translations, this should be indicated when citing the first non-English text or translation thereof (see example under ‘Translations’).
Volumes in Husserliana should be abbreviated as Hua, followed by Roman volume number and Arabic page reference; thus, page 55 in Husserliana VI would read: Hua VI, 55.
Where an English translation is also cited, this should read: Hua VI, 55/57 (German followed by English pagination).
In the case of Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe, volume numbers should be in italicized Arabic; thus, reference to page 55 of Gesamtausgabe 21 would read: GA 21, 55. (Other abbreviations may be decided by the author. An in-text reference should be enclosed in parentheses and come at the end of the relevant passage: (Hua VI, 55/57).
Books
References to books should include the author’s name, title in full (in italics), place of publication, publisher, year of publication. If relevant, page numbers should follow, though without ‘p.’ or ‘pp.’
Examples are:
Edmund Husserl, Einleitung in die Philosophie: Vorlesungen 1922/23, ed. Berndt Goosens, Husserliana XXXV (Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002). Henceforth cited as ‘Hua XXXV’ with page reference.
Adolf Reinach, Sämtliche Werke, ed. Karl Schuhmann and Barry Smith, 2 vols. (Munich: Philosophia Verlag, 1989).
Robert Sokolowski, Introduction to Phenomenology (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000), 13.
Translations
References to translations of books, chapters, and articles should also provide full bibliographic information of the original language publication.
Examples:
Edmund Husserl, Die Krisis der europäischen Wissenschaften und die transzendentale Phänomenologie. Eine Einleitung in die phänomenologische Philosophie, ed. Walter Biemel, Husserliana VI (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1954); English translation: The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, trans. David Carr (Evanston, Ill.: Northwestern University, 1970). Henceforth cited as Crisis with German and English page references, respectively. Wherever it has been deemed necessary, the translation has been modified without notice. Translations of all other texts are mine unless otherwise noted. [e.g., Crisis, 148/150 or Hua VI, 148/150]
Edmund Husserl, Cartesianische Meditationen und Pariser Vorträge, ed. S. Strasser, Husserliana I (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1950); English translation: Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology, trans. Dorion Cairns (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1960). Henceforth cited as CM with original pagination, which is included in the margins of both editions. [e.g., CM, 3 or Hua I, 3]
Articles and Chapters
References to essays in an edited collection should include the author’s name, title of essay, editor’s name, title of volume (in italics), place of publication, publisher, year of publication, and complete page numbers. References to articles in periodicals should include the author’s name, title of article, full title of periodical (in italics), volume number, year of publication (in parentheses), and complete page numbers. Where a specific passage is being cited in the first reference to the article or chapter, the complete page numbers should be followed by ‘here’ and the relevant page number.
Examples are:
Thomas Prufer, “Aristotelian Themes,” in Recapitulations (Washington, D.C.: Catholic University of America Press, 1993), 6-11, here 8.
Edmund Husserl, “Wert des Lebens. Wert der Welt. Sittlichkeit (Tugend) und Glückseligkeit <Februar 1923>,” ed. Ullrich Melle, Husserl Studies 13 (1996), 206-35.
