+\section{Introduction}
+
+\biblatexsbl provides support to \biblatex and LaTeX for citations,
+bibliography, and a list of abbreviations in the style recommended by the
+Society of Biblical Literature (\citeshorthand{SBL}). The style conforms to
+the second edition of the \cite{SBLHS}.
+
+The style supports all examples given in the handbook (see
+\sty{biblatex-sbl-test.pdf}). Shorthand citations and a list of abbreviations
+containing journals, series, and shorthands are handled automatically.
+Repeated authors in the bibliography are replaced by a horizontal line.
+\emph{Ibidem} is supported, but not enabled by default, as is indexing of
+names. Only note style citations, not Author-Date citations are supported.
+Primary sources can be cited in parentheses. \biblatexsbl is compatible with
+\biblatex's support for \sty{hyperref}.
+
+For anything not covered in this manual, please see the \biblatex
+documentation. Bugs and feature requests can be submitted at
+\url{\biblatexsblhome}.
+
+\section{Requirements}
+
+\biblatexsbl requires at least version 3.5 of \biblatex and the \sty{xparse}
+package. \sty{biber} must be used. \sty{bibtex} is not supported. For
+localization \sty{babel}\slash\sty{polyglossia} and \sty{csquotes} are
+recommended.
+
+\section{Usage}
+
+The following minimal example will set up \biblatexsbl to conform to the
+defaults of the \cite{SBLHS}.
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{}
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[style=sbl,backend=biber]{biblatex}
+\addbibresource{<bibfile.bib>}
+\begin{document}
+\printbiblist{abbreviations}
+\printbibliography
+\end{document}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsection{Localization}
+
+By default \biblatexsbl uses American style punctuation and quotation marks.
+You can choose a different style by including the
+\sty{babel}\slash\sty{polyglossia} and \sty{csquotes} packages in your
+document preamble. e.g.,
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{}
+\usepackage[german]{babel}
+\usepackage{csquotes}
+\usepackage[style=sbl,backend=biber]{biblatex}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{quote}
+
+Currently \opt{english} (including variants such as \opt{british},
+\opt{australian}, etc.), \opt{spanish}, and \opt{german} are supported.
+
+\subsection{Commands}
+
+The standard commands for \biblatexsbl generally follow those defined by
+\biblatex. Included below are the most typical commands. For more commands and
+options, reference the \biblatex manual.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{autocite}[prenote](altpostnote|postnote){key}
+
+\cmd{autocite} inserts a citation as a footnote. If used in a footnote, the
+citation is placed in parentheses. It works as in the standard \biblatex
+styles, except that that \bibfield{postnote} argument can be divided into two
+using the pipe (\sty{|}) character. This creates an \bibfield{altpostnote}
+field which is used in some of the examples from §6.4 of the \cite{SBLHS}.
+e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[See][1.3|8:223]{clementinehomilies}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+To use only \bibfield{altpostnote} you must still include the pipe character.
+e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[III. 1-164|]{PGM:betz}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\cmditem{cite}[prenote](altpostnote|postnote){key}
+
+\cmd{cite} works in the same way as \cmd{autocite} except that the citation is
+placed directly into the text instead of in a footnote.
+
+\cmditem{parencite}[prenote](altpostnote|postnote){key}
+
+\cmd{parencite} works in the same way as \cmd{autocite} except that the
+citation is placed inside parentheses instead of in a footnote. This is most
+useful for citing primary sources. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \sampleparencite[2.233-235]{josephus:ant}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\cmditem{journalcite}{key}
+\cmditem{seriescite}{key}
+\cmditem{shorthandcite}{key}
+
+\cmd{journalcite}, \cmd{seriescite},and \cmd{shorthandcite} inserts the
+respective abbreviation into the text and also adds it to the list of
+abbreviations. The abbreviation is hyperlinked to the list of abbreviations if
+the \sty{hyperref} package is loaded.
+
+These commands ignore the \bibfield{prenote} and \bibfield{postnote} fields,
+so can safely be used anywhere within a database entry.
+
+\cmditem{printbiblist}
+
+This command prints a bibliography list. In \biblatexsbl all abbreviations
+(journals, series, and shorthands) can be printed using the following command:
+
+\begin{quote}
+ \verb+\printbiblist[...]{abbreviations}+
+\end{quote}
+
+See the \biblatex manual for an explanation of available optional arguments.
+
+\cmditem{printbiblioraphy}
+
+Inserts the bibliography. See the \biblatex manual for an explanation of
+available optional arguments.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Package Options}
+
+\biblatexsbl defaults to the recommendations of the \citeshorthand{SBL}, but
+it also supports many of the standard options from \biblatex as well as a few
+custom ones outlined below.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[sbl]{citepages}{\opt{sbl}, \opt{permit}, \opt{omit}, \opt{separate}}
+
+Use this option to fine-tune the formatting of the \bibfield{pages} field
+the first time an entry is cited.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[sbl] The \bibfield{postnote} field is not printed for first citations.
+ e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[159]{leyerle:1993}
+ \samplecite{2}[159]{leyerle:1993}
+ \samplecite{3}{leyerle:1993}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+ If \bibfield{postnote} is not a page range, then it is printed in
+ parentheses after \bibfield{pages}. e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[a note]{irvine:2014}
+ \samplecite{2}[a note]{irvine:2014}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+\item[permit] The \bibfield{postnote} is printed in parentheses after the
+ \bibfield{pages} field. e.g.,
+
+ \makeatletter\cbx@opt@citepages@permit\makeatother
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[245]{wildberger:1965}
+ \samplecite{2}[245]{wildberger:1965}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+ If \bibfield{postnote} is not a page range, then \bibfield{pages} is printed
+ for subsequent citations, and the \bibfield{postnote} is printed in
+ parentheses. e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{3}[a note]{wildberger:1965}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+\item[omit] The \bibfield{pages} field is not printed unless
+ \bibfield{postnote} is empty or not a page range. e.g.,
+
+ \makeatletter\cbx@opt@citepages@omit\makeatother
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[5]{freedman:1977}
+ \samplecite{2}[5]{freedman:1977}
+ \samplecite{3}{freedman:1977}
+ \samplecite{4}[a note]{freedman:1977}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+\item[separate] The \bibfield{postnote} is printed in parentheses after the
+ \bibfield{pages} field preceeded by the bibliography string \sty{thiscite}.
+ e.g.,
+
+ \makeatletter\cbx@opt@citepages@separate\makeatother
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[1]{petersen:1988}
+ \samplecite{2}[1]{petersen:1988}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+ If \bibfield{postnote} is not a page range, then \sty{firstcite} is not
+ used. e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{3}[a note]{leyerle:1993}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+ \makeatletter\cbx@opt@citepages@sbl\makeatother
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\boolitem[false]{fullbibrefs}
+
+The \emph{Student Supplement for the} \cite{SBLHS} permits two styles for the
+bibliography entry for Bible dictionaries and encyclopaedias, and multivolume
+commentaries for the entire Bible by multiple
+authors.\autocite[4–5]{SBLHS:studentsupp}
+
+This option applies to \bibfield{@inreference} and \bibfield{@incommentary}
+entry types.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] The bibliography entry is printed in long form. e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \toggletrue{fullbibrefs}
+ \nocite{IDB}
+ \samplebib*{stendahl:1962}
+ \togglefalse{fullbibrefs}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+\item[false] The bibliography entry is printed in a short form. e.g.,
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplebib*{stendahl:1962}
+ \end{snugshade}
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[false]{ibidtracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context},
+\opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the \emph{ibidem} tracker. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+ not tracked separately between text body and footnotes.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker: \emph{ibid.}\ will not be used.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context-sensitive mode. In this mode,
+ citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] Enable the tracker in strict mode. In this mode, potentially
+ ambiguous references are suppressed. A reference is considered ambiguous if
+ either the current citation (the one including the \emph{ibidem}) or the
+ previous citation (the one the \emph{ibidem} refers to) consists of a list
+ of references.
+\item[constrict] This mode combines the features of \opt{context} and
+ \opt{strict}. It also keeps track of footnote numbers and detects
+ potentially ambiguous references in footnotes in a stricter way than the
+ \opt{strict} option. In addition to the conditions imposed by the
+ \opt{strict} option, a reference in a footnote will only be considered as
+ unambiguous if the current citation and the previous citation are given in
+ the same footnote or in immediately consecutive footnotes.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\boolitem[false]{ibidpage}
+
+The scholarly abbreviation \emph{ibidem} is sometimes taken to mean both ‘same
+author + same title’ and ‘same author + same title + same page’ in traditional
+citation schemes. By default, this is not the case with this style because it
+may lead to ambiguous citations. If you prefer the wider interpretation of
+\emph{ibidem}, set the package option \opt{ibidpage=true} or simply
+\opt{ibidpage} in the preamble. The default setting is \opt{ibidpage=false}.
+
+\optitem[false]{idemtracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context},
+\opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the \emph{idem} tracker. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker: \emph{idem} will not be used.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context-sensitive mode. In this mode,
+ citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] This is an alias for \opt{true}, provided only for consistency
+ with the other trackers. Since \emph{idem} replacements do not get ambiguous
+ in the same way as \emph{ibidem}, the strict tracking mode does not apply to
+ them.
+\item[constrict] This mode is similar to \opt{context} with one additional
+ condition: a reference in a footnote will only be considered as unambiguous
+ if the current citation and the previous citation are given in the same
+ footnote.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[false]{pagetracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This option controls whether \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} are used across
+page breaks or not.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in automatic mode. This is like \opt{spread} if
+ LaTeX is in twoside mode, and like \opt{page} otherwise.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[page] Enable the tracker in page mode. In this mode, tracking works on a
+ per-page basis.
+\item[spread] Enable the tracker in spread mode. In this mode, tracking works
+ on a per-spread (double page) basis.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[comp]{releasedate}{\opt{year}, \opt{short}, \opt{long}, \opt{terse,
+\opt{comp}, \opt{iso8601}}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{date} option (for details see the \biblatex manual) but
+controls the format of the \bibfield{releasedate}.
+
+\boolitem[true]{sblfootnotes}
+
+This option controls the style of footnotes. This option is compatible with
+the \sty{footmisc} package provided \sty{footmisc} is loaded before \biblatex.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Footnotes are printed with a normal number followed by a period
+ and the first line indented:
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite*{1}{talbert:1992}
+ \end{snugshade}
+
+\item[false] Footnotes are printed with a superscript (or whatever other
+ default has been set up by your style):
+
+ \begin{snugshade}
+ \hspace*{\bibindent}\llap{\textsuperscript{1}}\cite{robinson+koester:1971}.
+ \end{snugshade}
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\section{Database Guide}
+
+\subsection{Entry Types}
+
+This section gives an overview of the entry types supported by \biblatexsbl.
+Many work in the same way as \biblatex. Some standard entry types have custom
+usage, and some are unique to \biblatexsbl. These are documented more fully.
+
+\begin{typelist}
+
+\typeitem{ancienttext}
+
+This is a custom type for \biblatexsbl. It is used for the special examples in
+\cite[§6.4.1, §6.4.3 and §6.4.8]{SBLHS}.
+
+Unless \opt{options = \{skipbib=false\}} is set explicitly, an
+\bibtype{ancienttext} entry will not appear in the bibliography. (Although,
+see \opt{ANRW} \bibfield{entrysubtype} below for an exception.) The
+\bibfield{related} field is used to refer to the entry which should appear in
+the bibliography instead of the \bibtype{ancienttext} entry. Options can be
+set on the related entry using the \bibfield{relatedoptions} field.
+
+The entry pointed to by \bibfield{related} along with the \bibfield{postnote}
+is printed in parentheses after the \bibfield{altpostnote}, \bibfield{editor},
+and \bibfield{translator} fields if they are present. \bibfield{translator}
+and \bibfield{editor} fields are omitted for subsequent citations. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[319]{suppiluliumas}
+ \samplecite*{2}[319]{suppiluliumas}
+ \samplebib{ANET}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+If the entry contains \opt{options = \{skipbib=false\}}, then the bibliography
+entry will be like \bibtype{book}. Any shorthand is also printed in the same
+way as a \bibtype{book} shorthand.
+
+The following values for the \bibfield{entrysubtype} field are supported:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[ANRW]
+
+The \opt{ANRW} \bibfield{entrysubtype} is particularly for citing \cite{ANRW}
+as outlined in §6.4.8 of the \cite{SBLHS}. In this case, the entry \emph{will}
+appear in the bibliography. See \sty{biblatex-sbl-test.pdf} for full details
+of the required database entry.
+
+\item[chronicle]
+
+Formats the \bibfield{title} using an upright shape font without quotation
+marks. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[lines 3--4|125]{esarhaddonchronicle}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\item[COS]
+
+Suppresses parentheses around \emph{COS} and the \bibfield{postnote} for
+subsequent citations. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}{greathymnaten}
+ \samplecite*{2}{greathymnaten}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\item[inscription]
+
+ Similarly to \opt{chronicle}, this formats the \bibfield{title} using an
+ upright shape font without quotation marks.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\typeitem{article}
+
+An article in a journal or magazine. Also use this type for review articles
+\parencite[§6.3.4]{SBLHS} and electronic journal articles
+\parencite[§6.3.10]{SBLHS}.
+
+\typeitem{book}
+
+A single-volume book with one or more authors.
+
+\typeitem{mvbook}
+
+A multivolume \bibtype{book}. \biblatexsbl treats this as an alias for
+\bibtype{book}.
+
+There is one \bibfield{entrysubtype} supported:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[RIMA]
+
+The citation for \citeseries{RIMA} \parencite[97]{SBLHS} is treated like a
+series with a number when cited in full, but as a shorthand with a volume when
+cited in short form. See \sty{biblatex-sbl-test.pdf} for full details.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\typeitem{inbook}
+
+A part of a book which forms a self-contained unit with its own title.
+\biblatexsbl treats this as an alias for \bibtype{incollection}.
+
+\typeitem{bookinbook}
+
+This type is similar to \bibtype{inbook} but intended for works originally
+published as a stand-alone book. The main difference is that the title is
+printed in italics instead of in quotation marks. See §6.4.4 in
+\sty{biblatex-sbl-test.pdf} for an example.
+
+\typeitem{suppbook}
+
+Supplemental material in a \bibtype{book}. Use this for an introduction,
+preface or foreword written by someone other than the author
+\parencite[§6.2.14]{SBLHS}. The \bibfield{type} field is used to specify the
+type of supplementary material. See §6.2.14 of \sty{biblatex-sbl-test.pdf}.
+
+\typeitem{classictext}
+
+This type is a custom type for \biblatexsbl. It is used for the special
+examples in \cite[§6.4.2 and §§6.4.4–6]{SBLHS}.
+
+Unless \opt{options = \{skipbib=false\}} is set explicitly, a
+\bibtype{classictext} entry will not appear in the bibliography. The
+\bibfield{xref} field is used to refer to the entry which should appear in the
+bibliography instead of the \bibtype{classictext} entry.
+
+If present, the \bibfield{translator} and \bibfield{series} are printed in
+parentheses following the \bibfield{postnote}. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[15.18-19]{tacitus:ann:jackson}
+ \samplebib{tacitus}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+If the entry contains \opt{options = \{skipbib=false\}}, then the bibliography
+entry will be like \bibtype{incollection} except that the \bibfield{title} is
+set in italics instead of within quotation marks.
+
+The following values for the \bibfield{entrysubtype} field are supported:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[churchfather]
+
+Entries using the \opt{churchfather} \bibfield{entrysubtype} print the entry
+pointed to by \bibfield{related} within parentheses following the
+\bibfield{altpostnote}. The \bibfield{postnote} field applies to the entry in
+\bibfield{related}. \bibfield{relatedoptions} can be used to control some
+aspects of the formatting for the related entry. \bibfield{altpostnote} is
+always separated from the title by a space.
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[28.3.5|252]{augustine:letters}
+ \samplebib{augustine:letters}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\typeitem{collection}
+
+A single-volume collection with multiple, self-contained contributions by
+distinct authors which have their own title. The work as a whole has no
+overall author but it will usually have an editor. \biblatexsbl treats this as
+an alias for \bibtype{book}.
+
+\typeitem{mvcollection}
+
+A multi-volume \bibtype{collection}. \biblatexsbl treats this as an alias for
+\bibtype{mvbook}.
+
+\typeitem{incollection}
+
+A contribution to a collection which forms a self-contained unit with a
+distinct author and title.
+
+\typeitem{commentary}
+
+A single-volume commentary on a book (or part of a book) of the Bible by one
+or more authors. This entry type is similar to \bibtype{book}, except that any
+\bibfield{volume} and \bibfield{maintitle} is only printed in the
+bibliography, not the citation.
+
+\typeitem{mvcommentary}
+
+A multi-volume commentary on a single book of the Bible by one or more authors
+or a multi-volume commentary on the whole Bible by multiple authors.
+\biblatexsbl treats this as an alias to \bibtype{mvbook}.
+
+\typeitem{incommentary}
+
+A contribution to a commentary which forms a self-contained unit with a
+distinct author and title. This is typically a commentary on a book of the
+Bible appearing in a single or multi-volume commentary on the entire Bible.
+
+If an entry contains an \bibfield{xref} field, then the bibliography entry is
+printed in either short or long form as described above under
+\opt{fullbibrefs}. Otherwise this entry is treated as an alias for
+\bibtype{incollection}.
+
+\typeitem{conferencepaper}
+
+An unpublished paper presented at a professional society. Use the
+\bibfield{eventtitle}, \bibfield{venue}, and \bibfield{eventdate} fields to
+specify relevant detail for the conference.
+
+\typeitem{lexicon}
+
+A single-volume lexicon or theological dictionary. \biblatexsbl treats this as
+an alias for \bibtype{book}.
+
+\typeitem{mvlexicon}
+
+A multi-volume lexicon or theological dictionary. \biblatex treats this as an
+alias for \bibtype{mvbook}.
+
+\typeitem{inlexicon}
+
+An article in a lexicon or theological dictionary. This is a custom type for
+\biblatexsbl. The required \bibfield{xref} field must contain the entry name
+of a \bibtype{lexicon} or \bibtype{mvlexicon}. The \bibtype{inlexicon} entry
+does not appear in the bibliography. Instead the lexicon pointed to by
+\bibfield{xref} appears in the bibliography.
+
+Subsequent citations do not include the article title, only the name of the
+lexicon. e.g.,
+
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[511]{dahn+liefeld:see+vision+eye}
+ \samplecite{2}[511]{dahn+liefeld:see+vision+eye}
+ \samplebib{NIDNTT}
+\end{snugshade}
+
+\typeitem{manual}
+
+Technical or other documentation, not necessarily in printed form. \biblatexsbl
+treats this as an alias for \bibtype{book}.
+
+\typeitem{misc}
+
+A fallback type for entries which do not fit into any other category. Use the
+\bibfield{howpublished} field to supply publishing information in free format,
+if applicable.
+
+This type is also set up to be able to insert an item into the list of
+abbreviations. So it is permissible to include just \bibfield{journaltitle}
+and \bibfield{shortjournal} or \bibfield{series} and \bibfield{shortseries},
+or \bibfield{shorthand} and relevant fields. In this case ensure that
+\bibfield{options = \{skipbib\}} is set.
+
+\typeitem{online}
+
+An online resource without a print counterpart. \biblatexsbl treats this as an
+alias for \bibtype{article}.
+
+\typeitem{proceedings}
+
+A single-volume conference proceedings. In \biblatexsbl this as an alias for
+\bibtype{collection}.
+
+\typeitem{mvproceedings}
+
+A multi-volume \bibtype{proceedings} entry. In \biblatexsbl this as an alias
+for \bibtype{mvcollection}.
+
+\typeitem{inproceedings}
+
+An article in a conference proceedings. In \biblatexsbl this as an alias for
+\bibtype{incollection}.
+
+\typeitem{reference}
+
+A single-volume encyclopaedia or dictionary. \biblatexsbl treats this as an
+alias for \bibtype{book}.
+
+\typeitem{mvreference}
+
+A multi-volume \bibtype{reference}. \biblatexsbl treats this as an alias for
+\bibtype{mvbook}.

+above under \opt{fullbibrefs}.
+
+\typeitem{review}
+
+A book review in a journal. This is similar to the \bibtype{article} entry
+type. Use the \bibfield{revdauthor}\slash\bibfield{revdeditor} and
+\bibfield{revdtitle} fields to specify the author\slash editor and title of
+the book being reviewed.
+
+Note that review articles are treated like articles and should use the
+\bibtype{article} entry type.
+
+\typeitem{seminarpaper}
+
+An \citeshorthand{SBL} seminar paper. This is a custom entry type for
+\biblatexsbl. See §6.4.11 of \sty{biblatex-sbl-test} for an example.
+
+\typeitem{set}
+
+An entry set. This entry type is special. See the \biblatex manual for
+details.
+
+\typeitem{thesis}

+\subsection{Entry Options}
+
+\biblatexsbl supports many of the entry options outlined in the \biblatex
+manual. There are also a number of custom entry options supported by
+\biblatexsbl. These are documented below.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[false]{skipbiblistshorthand}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This option controls what appears in the list of abbreviations for database
+entries containing both a \bibfield{shorthand} and a \bibfield{shortseries}.
+For entries not containing a \bibfield{shortseries} just use the option
+\opt{skipbiblist}. The possible options are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Do not include the \bibfield{shorthand} in the list of
+ abbreviations.
+\item[false] Include the \bibfield{shorthand} in the list of abbreviations.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[false]{skipbiblistshortseries}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This option controls what appears in the list of abbreviations for database
+entries containing both a \bibfield{shorthand} and a \bibfield{shortseries}.
+For entries not containing a \bibfield{shorthand} just use the option
+\opt{skipbiblist}. The possible options are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Do not include the \bibfield{shortseries} in the list of
+ abbreviations.
+\item[false] Include the \bibfield{shortseries} in the list of abbreviations.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[true]{shorthand}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{short}}
+
+This option controls when and whether the \bibfield{shorthand} field is used
+as a citation.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Always use the \bibfield{shorthand} when citing the entry.
+\item[false] Never use the \bibfield{shorthand} when citing the entry.
+\item[short] Print the full citation the first time the entry is cited. Use
+ the \bibfield{shorthand} on subsequent citations.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[true]{usefullcite}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This options controls the format of first citations. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Use a full citation the first time the entry is cited.
+\item[false] Use the short citation form the first time the entry is cited.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[true]{useshorttitle}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This option controls the format of subsequent citations. The possible choices
+are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Include the \bibfield{shorttitle} or \bibfield{title} in
+ subsequent citations.
+\item[false] Suppress the \bibfield{shorttitle} or \bibfield{title} in
+ subsequent citations, so only the author(s) or editor(s) are printed.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[true]{usevolume}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}
+
+This option controls whether the \bibfield{volume} is printed as part of the
+citation text or as part of the \bibfield{postnote}.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Print the \bibfield{volume} as part of the main citation
+ information. e.g., “Vol.~1.”
+\item[false] Print the \bibfield{volume} field as part of the
+ \bibfield{postnote}. e.g., “1:”
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subsection{Reprints}
+
+\biblatexsbl supports three different ways of doing reprints with varying
+complexity.
+
+If only the original publisher, location, and/or year are required, then use
+the fields \bibfield{origpublisher}, \bibfield{origlocation}, and
+\bibfield{origdate}. e.g.,
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+@book{vanseters:1997,
+ author = {Van Seters, John},
+ title = {In Search of History: Histeriography in the Ancient
+ World and the Origins of Biblical History},
+ origlocation = {New Haven},
+ origpublisher = {Yale University Press},
+ origdate = {1983},
+ location = {Winona Lake, IN},
+ publisher = {Eisenbrauns},
+ date = {1997}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[90]{vanseters:1997}
+ \samplebib{vanseters:1997}
+\end{snugshade}
+\end{quote}
+
+When extra information is required, use a related entry with
+\bibfield{relatedtype = \{reprint\}}. A custom string can be specified instead
+of “Repr.” using the optional \bibfield{relatedstring} field. In this case no
+punctuation is inserted after the \bibfield{relatedstring}. You could think of
+the default being \bibfield{relatedstring = \{\cmd{bibstring}\{reprint\},\}}.
+e.g.,
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+@mvbook{sasson:2000,
+ editor = {Sasson, Jack M.},
+ title = {Civilizations of the Ancient Near East},
+ volumes = {4},
+ location = {New York},
+ publisher = {Scribner's Sons},
+ year = {1995},
+ related = {sasson:repr},
+ relatedtype = {reprint}
+}
+@mvbook{sasson:repr,
+ volumes = {4~vols.\ in 2},
+ location = {Peabody, MA},
+ publisher = {Hendrickson},
+ date = {2000}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[1:40]{sasson:2000}
+ \samplebib{sasson:2000}
+\end{snugshade}
+\end{quote}
+
+A full reprint history also uses the \bibfield{related} field, but with some
+other \bibfield{relatedtype} apart from \bibfield{relatedtype = \{reprint\}}.
+e.g.,
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+@book{wellhausen:1883,
+ author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
+ title = {Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels},
+ edition = {2},
+ location = {Berlin},
+ publisher = {Reimer},
+ date = {1883}
+}
+@book{wellhausen:1885,
+ author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
+ title = {Prolegomena to the History of Israel},
+ translator = {Black, J. Sutherland and Enzies, A.},
+ preface = {Smith, W. Robertson},
+ location = {Edinburgh},
+ publisher = {Black},
+ related = {wellhausen:1883},
+ relatedtype = {translationof},
+ date = {1885}
+}
+@book{wellhausen:1957,
+ author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
+ title = {Prolegomena to the History of Ancient Israel},
+ location = {New York},
+ publisher = {Meridian Books},
+ related = {wellhausen:1885},
+ relatedtype = {reprintof},
+ date = {1957}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\begin{snugshade}
+ \samplecite{1}[20]{wellhausen:1957}
+ \samplebib{wellhausen:1957}
+\end{snugshade}
+\end{quote}
+
+\printbiblist[heading=biblistintoc]{abbreviations}
+
+\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]
+
+\printindex
