The Chicago styles have several issues with the rendering of multivolume works: most visibly, the volume editor appears where one would expect the series editor (which does not appear at all), and the volume title does not appear in the bibliography.

As this is rather complicated, I would appreciate input from @adam3smith and @bwiernik (plus #7344 should be merged first).

Extracts from Chicago guidance

14.23, 'One volume in two or more books':

Occasionally, if it is very long, a single volume of a multivolume work may be published as two or more physical books. The reference must then include book as well as volume number.

  1. Donald F. Lach, Asia in the Making of Europe, vol. 2, A Century of Wonder, bk. 3, The Scholarly Disciplines (University of Chicago Press, 1977), 351.

Harley, J. B., and David Woodward, eds. The History of Cartography. Vol. 2, bk. 2, Cartography in the Traditional East and Southeast Asian Societies. University of Chicago Press, 1994.

14.24, 'Authors and editors of multivolume works':

Some multivolume works have both a general editor and individual editors or authors for each volume (and, as in the third example below, additional editors for new editions). When individual volumes are cited, the name of the editor(s) follows that part for which they are responsible.

  1. The Cambridge History of America and the World, ed. Mark Philip Bradley, vol. 3, 1900–1945, ed. Brooke L. Blower and Andrew Preston (Cambridge University Press, 2021).
  2. The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne, ed. Gary A. Stringer, vol. 6, The “Anniversaries” and the “Epicedes and Obsequies,” ed. Gary A. Stringer and Ted-Larry Pebworth (Indiana University Press, 1995).
  3. Orestes, trans. William Arrowsmith, in Euripides IV, unnumbered vol. 6 of The Complete Greek Tragedies, ed. David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, 3rd ed., ed. Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most (University of Chicago Press, 2013).

Note the different capitalization and punctuation of edited by in the following alternative versions, analogous to the treatment of a chapter in a multiauthor book (see 14.9). (Certain multivolume works may, for bibliographic purposes, more conveniently be treated as series; see 14.26.)

Donne, John. The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne. Edited by Gary A. Stringer and Jeffrey S. Johnson. Vol. 6, The “Anniversaries” and the “Epicedes and Obsequies,” edited by Gary A. Stringer and Ted-Larry Pebworth. Indiana University Press, 1995.

Problems needing to be fixed:

  • Incorrect punctuation between the title and volume number in bibliography: it seems from comparing 14.23 and 14.24 that CMoS want a period if there is no volume title, but a comma if there is one, to show that the editors' names apply to that volume.
  • Am I reading this correctly that the note form should be in a completely different order if there is a series editor?
  • Including the number of volumes is incorrect, since it makes it sound here as if 1900–1945 is itself four volumes: it appears from the examples in 14.23 that number-of-volumes should be omitted if either the volume-title or volume variables are present.

Problems:

  • Incorrect placement of editors;
  • Missing volume title in the bibliography;
  • Missing series editor;
  • Number of volumes needing to be suppressed in the note;
  • Volume number needs to be included with the volume title rather than with the page numbers in the bibliography.
