References are to the specific page/s or column/s where the quoted text begins and ends, not to the entire document in which this occurs; and to the edition cited, not to any book, chapter or other subdivision within the source unless further specified. Quotations reproduce as far as practicable the orthography, punctuation and symbols used in the edition cited rather than making a silent redaction at second hand where the original document has not been consulted. Most secondary works are cited by the surname/s of author or co-authors, indicated by capital letters in the bibliography, followed by date of publication and page, column or table reference. Sometimes the title of the book, series or journal is given instead (or as well), and in that case it will be placed in the list alphabetically by the title. Clarity is the aim in this, as in the forms of names and titles used, rather than consistency for its own sake.

Todiniacum enim qui in dominicatu archiepiscopi erat cum omnibus appenditiis suis fratri suo Radulfo potentissimo viro filio Hugonis de Cavalcamp dedit. The word Cavalcamp presumably meant a paddock for horses, and does not appear to be the name of any specific place. However, it appears as Calvacaput in the edition by Edmond Martène in Vet Script Coll Nov part II 239, meaning bald head—again not identifiable with a unique place—and as Calvacamp in the edition by Jean Mabillon reprinted in PL CXLVII 278.
