I need to cite volumes of classic philosophers' complete works, which often come divided in several sections (or parts) each including several volumes. Here is a correctly formatted example:
Wolff, Christian von (1962). Philosophia prima sive Ontologia. Ed. by Jean Ecole. Gesammelte Werke. Abteilung 2: Lateinische Schriften, Bd. 3. Hildesheim: Olms.
I cannot figure out how to instruct biblatex to produce this output. I tried using the "part" and "volume" fields as in the ref below:
@Book{Wolff1962,
Title = {Philosophia prima sive Ontologia},
Author = {Wolff, Christian von},
Editor = {Jean Ecole},
Publisher = {Olms},
Address = {Hildesheim},
Year = {1962},
Part = {Abt. 2: Lateinische Schriften},
Maintitle = {Gesammelte Werke},
Volume = {3},
Language = {german}
}
Unfortunately, biblatex seems to think that part is subordinated to volume, and produces a very different output. Moreover, the maintitle is printed before the book title. I would also like to have localized (German) abbreviation for Part and Volume for entries like this one (the document language is English), and I though the language tag would take care of it, but apparently not. Here is the output:
Wolff, Christian von (1962). Gesammelte Werke. Vol. 3.2: Lateinische Schriften: Philosophia prima sive Ontologia. Ed. by Jean Ecole. Hildesheim: Olms.
Suggestions appreciated.
Edit: MWE with Latex and (included) bib ref:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[german,english]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,natbib=true, indexing=cite, citestyle=authoryear-ibid, bibstyle=authoryear-ibid, sorting=nyt, indexing=cite]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@Book{Wolff1962,

Language = {German},
Volume = {3},
Maintitle = {Gesammelte Werke},

}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

Final edit: modified MWE incorporating and slightly modifying Carols's solution:
