Style Guide
I: Punctuation
General points
Punctuation outside quotation-marks, except where a complete sentence beginning with a capital letter is contained within them, when the full point should fall within the quotation marks. Suprascript numbers for footnotes should follow adjacent punctuation. Ellipses are indicated by a series of three points only (including at the end of a sentence). Square brackets should be used within round brackets. In lists, please place a comma before the final ‘and’ or ‘or’. All nouns ending in –s should have their possessives in –s’s.
Hyphens
Used in compound adjectives and adverbs (ninth-century kingship, well-established procedure; note also the mid-ninth century; a mid-ninth-century manuscript). No hyphen is used for compounds ending in -ly (e.g. clearly explained account), or when the compound follows the noun to which it refers (e.g. the procedure is well established). Hyphens should be avoided in cases such as ‘ill advised’, ‘well known’, ‘much abused’. N.B. Please do not break words at the end of a line: the resulting hyphens can cause problems when it comes to pagesetting!
Capitals
Minimum capitals for: titles of chapters, articles, headings, tables etc. abbot of Armagh; king of Scots; John, bishop of Glasgow. N.B. Avoid capitals in: christian/christianity, middle ages. N.B. Each line of a verse quotation need not begin with a capital. Maximum capitals for: titles of books, tracts, pamphlets, theses (and other ‘stand-alone’ works) Bishop John; King Donnchad; the River Dee. Capitals should be used with common nouns only to specify, or to avoid ambiguity – for example, the distinctions ‘church’ / ‘Church’; ‘the West’ but ‘the west of Scotland’; ‘the Empire’, but ‘the Roman empire’; ‘the Conquest’, but ‘the Norman conquest’. They should be used also in names for stages of languages: Classical Latin, Medieval Latin, Late Latin, Neo-Latin, Vulgar Latin.
Accents
Please avoid on words commonly used in English (role, elite).
Quotations
English-language quotations of no more than thirty words should be placed within single inverted commas; and larger number should begin on a new line and be indented (but still double-spaced). Quotations in languages other than Modern English should be italicised. Double inverted commas should be reserved for direct speech or quotations within quotations. Any quotation in a language other than Modern English should normally be accompanied by a translation, which should preferably be placed in a footnote (and therefore in single inverted commas). All quotations from modern authors should be exact, and are therefore exempted from our house-style.
II: Spelling and lexis
General
English as used in Scotland or England (rather than in North America). Note that ‘-ise’ is preferred to ‘-ize’. Scottish (rather than English) legal terminology is preferred: e.g. brieve (not writ), feu (not fief), procurator (not proctor), sasine (not seissin). Usage that is not gender specific is preferable to expressions that seem to suppose that men are the norm! Please feel free to use the second person pronoun (so ‘you can appreciate’ rather than ‘one can appreciate’). Please be wary, however, about writing in the first person.
Medieval Personal Names
The general principle in dealing with individuals who are, in the terms of your article, identifiably Celtic, is to avoid Anglicised forms and to treat names within the historiographical tradition of the country concerned. For Irish/Gaelic, names should be given in the forms appropriate to the date of the person in question. For Welsh (including Cumbrian), names should be given in Modern Welsh guise (unless it is absolutely impossible to update a medieval form). For Breton and Cornish names should be given in the forms appropriate to the date of the person in question. For Pictish, please consult the editor as soon as possible!
As far as individuals who are identifiably Norse or English, Norse names should be given in the forms appropriate to the date of the person in question, while in general English up to and including the eleventh century should be given in Old English. Modern forms are preferable for personal names after the eleventh century.
III: Numbers, dates, and measurements
Numbers
All numbers smaller than 101 should be in words. But please note ‘two hundred’, ‘one thousand’, etc. Also, please use figures in passages where there is a succession of specific quantities. In expressing periods of time or a succession of numbers use the fewest figures necessary to convey the meaning without obscurity. For example, in the case of page numbers: 21-9; 32-56; 241-6, 247-82; 1016-47; but 11-19, 413-16. In the case of years (e.g. reigns): 1124-53, 900-3, 834-9, but 811-19.
Dates
Dates should be standardised on the models ‘2 December, 1042’, ‘2 December’, and ‘December 1042’. In references to decades use the formula 860s, not 860’s. Use of B.C., A.D. formulae should follow the conventions ‘55 B.C.’ and ‘A.D. 1014’. Do not use ‘Between … and …’ unless you really mean that; use instead ‘from … to …’ or ‘date-date’ if the whole period is intended; if reference is intended to an uncertain point or period within those limits, use ‘date x date’ [preferably using a multiplication sign (rather than the letter ‘x’) if this graph is available on your word processor: it is not available on mine!] Date-ranges will be also be ellided e.g. 1124x53, i.e. a date falling not earlier or later than 1124 and 1153.
Measurements
Percentages should be given in figures: 47%; 0.7%. Give metric dimensions only (unless the context demands otherwise).
IV: References
When first referring to a book, article or other work, please give the reference in full. For a book, please also give the author’s or editor’s name as it appears in the title-page. Thereafter, use a shortened form for both title and author/editor (examples are given in brackets for the works cited below). If you use initial-letter abbreviations or shortened words, please give the abbreviated form within square brackets when the work is first cited (e.g. Alan Orr Anderson, Early Sources for Scottish History, 2 vols (Edinburgh, 1922) [ES], i, 212). It is strongly recommended that, where possible, initial-letter abbreviations or shortened words should be used according to SHR practice (as set out in the list of abbreviated titles published in 1963: an updated list should shortly be available on the webpage of the SHR Trust). For example: Cosmo Innes (ed.), Registrum Episcopatus Glasguensis: Munimenta Ecclesie Metropolitane Glasguensis, a Sede Restaurata Seculo Inuente XII, ad Reformatam Religionem, 2 vols, Bannatyne and Maitland Clubs (Edinburgh and Glasgow, 1843) [Glasgow Reg.], i, no.10. This would thereafter be referred to as Glasgow Reg., i, no.10.
Please note that capitals, page-numbers, abbreviations and contractions are dealt with in the manner described below. Please note in particular the avoidance of neo-Latin terms (ante, idem/eadem, op.cit., olim), except ibid. (for ibidem, ‘in the same place’), and apud (‘in the writing of’, which tends only to be used in a reference to a personal communication quoted in another’s work: e.g. T. O. Clancy apud Katherine Stuart Forsyth, ‘The Ogham Inscriptions of Scotland: An Edited Corpus’, unpublished Ph.D. thesis (Harvard University, 1996), 49).

V: Abbreviations
For the use of abbreviations in references to books and manuscripts, see above. Stops should always be used. Please note the following: ‘St.’ and ‘SS.’, not ‘S.’, ‘Sts’. Use ‘ca.’ (not ‘c.’ or ‘c.’) for circa. For ‘died’, ‘obiit’ (etc.), use ‘ob.’. In particular avoid ‘e.g.’, ‘i.e.’. The word ‘line(s)’ should always be written in full.
Annalistic texts The usual abbreviations are used for Irish chronicles:
AClon, AConn, AFM, AI, ALC, ARC, AT, AU, CS, FAI (="Fragmentary" Annals of Ireland, ed. Joan Radner)
Please indicate which entry you refer to in an annal: e.g. AU 676.3; AT 988.2. For AU before 1014, please refer to the actual year, not to the given year if it is one less than the actual year. Otherwise, if an editorial date is given (i.e. it differs from what is apparent in the chronicle itself), please indicate this by putting the date in square brackets: e.g. AT [563].1
For Scottish chronicles, please note the following abbreviation:
CKA: ‘Chronicle of the Kings of Alba’ (a.k.a. ‘The Scottish chronicle in the Poppleton manuscript’).
Otherwise refer to chronicles by edition in the usual way.
For Welsh chronicles, the following abbreviations should be used (the list of abbreviations should also indicate the editions used):
AC (A, B, or C [as appropriate])="The" A-, B-, or C- text of Annales Cambriae; ByS="Brenhinedd y Saesson ByT (Pen. 20)="Brut y Tywysogion (MS Peniarth 20 version) ByT (RB)="Brut y Tywysogion (Red Book of Hergest version) References should be to years (page numbers need only be given in addition to years if this is essential to identify a passage in an annal extending over more than one page); where editorial dates are given, these should follow the date in the chronicle as in the following example: ByT (Pen. 20) 1079 [="1081]." Where only an editorial date is given, it should be put within square brackets, e.g.: ByT (Pen. 20) [1014].
