ABBREVIATIONS
FROM THE time this task was conceived as a three-volume work,
it was planned to reduce to a minimum extensive citation and
abbreviation in the footnotes, and to do so by integrating note
citations with the annotated Bibliography at the end of Volume III.
Text footnote citation is made in a modified scientific style. Most
single-author references are given by author surname, year of publication,
volume number if applicable, and page citations. With a few
exceptions, full bibliographical information can be found only in
the Bibliography.
Citations to primary sources, chiefly the patristic writings and the
great encyclopedias, are given by abbreviated general title (see list
below); volumes in these works are given in the notes with abbreviated
titles but in sufficient detail to make their identities virtually
self-evident. Simple references to authors of standard works, even
without the Bibliography, will pose little problem to many readers.
We realize that the method has the drawback of not being fully
useful at once. The need to balance text, notes, captioning, and
illustrations on these pages favored conciseness wherever possible.
Internal cross references are by volume and page number of this
work, with volume number omitted for the book in hand. Abbreviations
in the inscriptions of the Plan are discussed in Volume III,
introduction to Appendix I.

THE PLAN OF ST. GALL
Red outline drawing of the Plan with margin of the parchment
shown in dotted black line. The illustration shows the Plan at
1/10 the original size, 1:1920 which is equivalent to one inch
equals 160 feet. For larger scale plan see p. xxviii.
The small reproductions of the Plan at 1/10 and 1/8 original
size, appearing in various parts of the work, required
preparation of a special drawing in which the lines of the basic
red rendering have been considerably thickened for ease of
legibility and of printing when reduced to small size. The small
plan is never used where gross exaggeration of line width in the
reproduction would provide an iconographic distortion affecting
interpretive values in reading the Plan. It is used exclusively as
a convenience for the reader, to facilitate ease of reading where
the typical full-page illustration would be disproportionate to
the purpose.
