This a short guide about how to create and edit bibliography entries to contribute to the Bibliographia Kircheriana.
Create new entries
Step 1: check if your entry already exists
Before adding new entries, you must check if they are already listed in the bibliography. For this purpose, you can use the search function of the table displayed in the page. Search is made just within the fields of the table (Author, Title, Year, Language, Bibliographic level), even if a single bibliographic entry has more fields - as we are going to see. When you start typing, the results begin to be filtered. The search is case sensitive, so e.g. 'là' is different from 'la'.
We recommend to do an accurate search before add other entries.
Step 2: create a new entry
Once you are sure your entry is not present in the Bibliographia, you can add it clicking on 'To create a new entry click here'. You will be linked to a form page that you have to fill following the indications below.
Step 3: fill the bibliography entries form
Bibliographia Kircheriana contains both ancient and modern references about Kircher. We decide treat them differentely, according to the following rules.
Modern bibliographical items (after 1830)
Name(s)
Fill this field with the names responsible for the publication, usually author(s) or editor(s). Some rules:
- Always use the form 'Surname, Name'
- In case of two or more names, separate each one with a semicolon
- Do not ever add any indication about the names such as 'a cura di', 'edited by' or qualifications such as 'SJ', 'prof.', 'PhD' etc.
Title
Write down the title as it appears on the publication. If you want to use italics, you must use the tag , not the usual wiki markup.
Place of printing
DO NOT USE FOR MODERN ITEMS.
Printer
DO NOT USE FOR MODERN ITEMS.
