Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Francis Bacon's work Essayes (1st edition, 1598 reprint; and 3rd edition, 1625 and 1632); the 1st edition (London: […] [John Windet] for Humfrey Hooper, […], 1597; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1598 reprint)
  • |year= – mandatory: if quoting from this edition, specify |year=1598. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 3rd edition (1625).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
    • If quoting from the epistle dedicatory, specify |chapter=Epistle Dedicatory. As this chapter is unpaginated, use |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is <!--URL to be inserted-->, specify |page=.
    • If quoting from the essay "Of the Colours of Good and Evill", specify |chapter=Colours.
  • |2= or |folio=, and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: this edition is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

The first page of the first essay "Studies" has no folio number. To quote from this page, specify |folio=0 and |verso=1 (or |verso=yes).

3rd edition (1625, and 1632 reprint)
  • |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1632 reprint, specify |year=1632. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 3rd edition (1625).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
    • If quoting from the epistle dedicatory, specify |chapter=Epistle Dedicatorie. As this chapter is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=WVhpAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP3, specify |page=3.
    • If quoting from the essay "Of the Colours of Good and Evill" in the 1632 reprint, specify |chapter=Colours. As this essay is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=FpJLAAAAcAAJ&pg=PT3, specify |page=3.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
Both editions
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
