The editors have imposed spelling, citation style and other conventions of Edinburgh University Press on all contributions with two major exceptions, both in accordance with usual practice in premodern studies.First, Arabic and Persian are transliterated in full (after the Library of Congress standard).Secondly, dates are split, the year of the Hijrah preceding that of the Common Era (or, sometimes, the two overlapping years of the Common Era when the sources do not permit any more precision).In order to make them findable in multiple editions, hadith reports in the Six Books are cited by book (kitāb) and section (bāb) so as to be compatible with the numbering of A. J. Wensinck et al., Concordance et indices de la tradition musulmane, 7 vols (Leiden: Brill, 1936-69), referred to in Arabic as al-Muʿjam.They are also cited by the most nearly conventional number, usually that of Fuʾād ʿAbd al-Bāqī in one of his editions.
