I am trying to customise the \footcite command of the Historische-Zeitschrift Style so that I can use a special citation-type.

Here's what I need:

  1. When I have a bibliographic entry with something in custom usera field, and I use \footcite, my citation needs to look like this:

    See Athanasius Alexandrinus, Epistula ad Marcellinum de interpretatione psalmorum, in: PG 27, S. 56.

  2. When I use \footcite for the second time for the same entry directly after this one, it needs to produce:

    See ebd., S. 22.

  3. When I use \footcite for the third time for the same entry, but somewhere else in the text, it needs to produce:

    See Ath., ep. Marcell. (Wie Anm. 1 ), S. 56.

  4. If I don't have anything in that field, the default citation needs to be used. It would look like this:

    See Iustinus Martyr, Iustini Martyris dialogus cum Tryphone, in: Miroslav Marcovich (Hrsg.). Bd. 47. (Patrologiae cursus completus: Series Graeca.) Berlin/New York 1997, S. 22.

Now, I managed to get all this, except for thing, for which I can't figure out why it happens. You can see what I am talking about on this picture:

enter image description here

So where the number 2 is, should be 1. It points not at the original footnote where the entry was quoted the first time, but instead at the last repeated entry.

Can someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance for your answers!

  • Please note that historische-zeitschrift is quite an old biblatex style (the current version 1.0 seem to date back to June 2012) and as such might have cause some problems; most notably, I'm not really happy with how some text in parentheses is handled (sometimes a spurious whitespace seems to sneak in).

  • Yes I realise that, but since there is no newer option I have no choice. Thats the only stile that comes close to that what I need to have.

  • Maybe you would like to use verbose-ibid and customise that to your needs (that way it is guaranteed that your style works together well with the newest version of biblatex, being a standard style it will also be easier to modify than historische-zeitung). You could ask a new question about that.

Since the historische-zeitschrift style is quite old (it was updated in 2016 to deal with Biblatex 3.3 name formatting), I decided to try and recreate it. The base style I used is verbose-inote.

The relevant lines for the seenote parentheses are

\renewbibmacro*{footcite:note}{%
  \ifnameundef{labelname}
    {\printfield{label}}
    {\printnames{labelname}}%
  \ifsingletitle
    {}
    {\setunit*{\nametitledelim}%
     \printfield[title]{labeltitle}}%
  %\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%<--- this line ...
  \printtext[parens]{%<---- ... and this line
    \bibstring{seenote}\addnbspace
    \ref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}%
    \iftoggle{cbx:pageref}
      {\ifsamepage{\the\value{instcount}}{\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}
        {}
        {\addcomma\space\bibstring{page}\addnbspace
         \pageref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}}}
      {}}}

The name format is taken care of by (the answer has been edited to use the new name format, see the history for the old format)

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{given-family-emph}

\DeclareNameFormat{labelname}{%
  \mkbibemph{%

Titles etc. are just plain text, no emphasis, quotation marks etzc.

\DeclareFieldFormat*{booktitle}{#1\isdot}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{journaltitle}{#1\isdot}

Some fields are not to be displayed

\newcommand{\clearunecfields}{%

  \clearlist{publisher}%
  \clearfield{pagetotal}%
  \iffieldequalstr{edition}{1}
    {\clearfield{edition}}

\AtEveryBibitem{\clearunecfields}
\AtEveryCitekey{\clearunecfields}

(unit) separators

%\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}

\renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand*{\multilistdelim}{\addslash}
\renewcommand*{\finallistdelim}{\multilistdelim}

\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\multinamedelim}
\renewbibmacro*{in:}{%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}

The position of date, location and publisher is adjusted

\renewbibmacro*{issue+date}{%

  \iffieldundef{issue}

\renewbibmacro*{institution+location+date}{\usebibmacro{pio+location+date}{institution}}
\renewbibmacro*{organization+location+date}{\usebibmacro{pio+location+date}{organization}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}

Series and number are to be displayed in parentheses at the end of an entry

\renewbibmacro*{series+number}{%
  \iffieldundef{series}
    {}
    {\printtext[parens]{%
        \printfield{series}%
        \setunit*{\addspace}%
        \printfield{number}%
        \newunit\newblock}
      \nopunct}}

Other editor formats for @in... entries

\xpatchbibdriver{incollection}
  {\usebibmacro{in:}%
   \usebibmacro{maintitle+booktitle}%
   \newunit\newblock
   \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}%
  }
  {\usebibmacro{in:}%
   \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}%
   \setunit{\labelnamepunct}\newblock
   \usebibmacro{maintitle+booktitle}%
   \newunit\newblock}%
  {}{}

\xpatchbibdriver{inbook}
  {\usebibmacro{in:}%
   \usebibmacro{bybookauthor}%
   \newunit\newblock
   \usebibmacro{maintitle+booktitle}%
   \newunit\newblock
   \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}}
  {\usebibmacro{in:}%
   \usebibmacro{bybookauthor}%
   \newunit\newblock
   \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}
   \setunit{\labelnamepunct}\newblock
   \usebibmacro{maintitle+booktitle}}%

  }
    {\printnames{editor}%
     \setunit{\addspace}%
     \usebibmacro{editor+othersstrg}%
     \clearname{editor}}%
    {}}

Finally, the citation commands are patched to include use the proper author name format

\renewbibmacro*{cite:full}{%
  \usebibmacro{cite:full:citepages}%
  \printtext[bibhypertarget]{%
    \usedriver
      {}
      {\thefield{entrytype}}}%
  \usebibmacro{shorthandintro}}

\renewbibmacro*{footcite:full}{%
  \usebibmacro{cite:full:citepages}%
  \printtext[bibhypertarget]{%
    \usedriver
      {}
      {\thefield{entrytype}}}%
  \usebibmacro{shorthandintro}}

    I didn't even notice this one!!! I am switching to this from the Historische Zeitschrift because this is so much better (simpler and it will always be updated). Thank you for taking the time to make this!

  • @eklisiarh Mhhh, seeing that Historische Zeitschrift was just recently updated, you might want to reconsider the switch. What I did here was more or less a proof of concept, not a finished style. Also note that this probably does not reflect the HistZeit style in every detail and to to one hundred per cent.
