Chicago/Turabian/SBL Style Guide (Notes-Bibliography)

Entry in an Encyclopedia, Dictionary, or Lexicon

• A well-known reference work should be cited in the footnote, but doesn't need to be cited in the Bibliography.
• Reference works from a specialized reference work will need to be cited in both Bibliography and footnotes.
• Signed entries in a dictionary, encyclopedia, or lexicon should be cited just as a chapter in a book. Signed entries often place the author's name at the end of the article.
• If a work is multivolume, add the volume number just before page numbers, separated by a colon and a space.
