The following lines will be substantially modified:

I’ve appended a prefix to all quotations in the seven sections on parallelisms. Information within a quotation prefix is an extended text citation, and allows an interested reader to easily locate a quotation.

A quotation prefix is in the following format:
Author, Work, Location in Work (Location in Source)

For example:
Sandys, JOB, 15.44 (Sandys 1872, 1:29; -12v)
“Like newly-kindled exhalations,”

This particular quotation is from George Sandys’ poem, “A Paraphrase upon Job.” Generally, across all sources for this poem, the quotation can be found in chapter 15 at line 44. Specifically, the quotation can also be found by going to the source “Sandys 1872” which appears in the list of references below, then going to volume 1, page 29, and then counting 12 lines of verse from the bottom of the page (footnote and prose lines are not counted). For brevity, I’ve chosen to put the list of references and the “Location in Source” citation field in an author-date format more commonly used in scientific publications.

Here are some additional examples of locating quotations from the (Location in Source) field at the end of a prefix:

(Works 1933, 4:39)
see volume 4, page 39, and use act.scene.line information
(Arden 2001, 499)
see page 499, and use act.scene.line information
(Sandys 1973, 256; +1v)
see page 256, first verse line on the page
(Sandys 1973, 256; -6v)
see page 256, 6th verse line from bottom of the page
(Sandys 1973, 256; +8p)
see page 256, 8th prose line from top of the page
(Sandys 1973, 256; -1p)
see page 256, last prose line on the page

Note: When counting lines from the top of a page, do not count header and title lines. When counting lines from the bottom of a page, do not count footnote lines.
