EDITORIAL STANDARDS OF Archivum Fratrum Praedicatorum
The texts have to be delivered on an electronic device (USB Flash drive, CD or e-mail), saved
in a Word program (font: Times New Roman; size: 12; line space: single).
Text
1. Language: English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
2. Abbreviations – according to the language which is used by an author – should be written at
the beginning of each article.
3. Paragraphs should be justified.
4. References to notes of a quotation written in superscripted numbers should be put after the
last word and followed (if necessary) by a punctuation mark without a space.
5. Short quotations (up to three lines) should be put in quotation marks. Longer quotations
(which exceed three lines) should be written without formatting, preceded with a colon (:),
separated from the main text with a blank line (before and after) and distinguished from the
main text with a tab, like in an example:
«Già in questi anni quindi cominciava a prendere l’atteggiamento del difensore della Cattolicità
romana, facendo però ricorso ad argomentazioni poco tradizionali. Le accuse di un condannato a
Napoli lo fecero finire per la terza volta in carcere nel marzo 1597. Fu liberato, sempre a
condizione che tornasse in Calabria, cosa che finalmente fece l’anno dopo.» 1
6. Single words or expressions in Latin and in other foreign languages, which are not typically
used in the language of an article, should be written in italics.
7. At the end of the text an abstract of the article written in English should be added.
Reference
References, which are automatically connected with a text should be numbered progressively
and put at the footer of a page. Punctuation should be always written at the end of a citation
before the reference number.
Monographs
1. Should be started with an initial of the name of an author, followed by a surname written in
CAPITALS. In case of two or more authors a hyphen followed by a space is used.
2. Full title should be written in italics, followed by a coma; after a coma, if there is one, a
subtitle should be written.
3. A number of a quoted volume should be written in the Arabic numbers (if there are more
than one volume), followed by a colon (:); then a title of a volume, if there is one.
4. If there is a series of volumes, before the name of the place of publication the name of a
series in round parenthesis should be put.

moderno e contemporaneo, Bari 2011, p. 194.
5. The name of the place of publication (in the language of a quoted work) followed by a
coma and the year of publication (not separated by a coma), with the number of edition, if
needed in superscripted number. If there are more places of publication, they should be
written followed by a space. If there are more than three places, the first one should be cited
with an addition of et al.; and others.
6. The exact indication of a page or pages should be written with an abbreviation “p.” and
“pp.”; it is advised not to use an abbreviation “s.” or “ss.” (following, for extending the
pages); if references are situated on different pages which do not follow each other it is useful
to write a Latin expression passim.
