Re: Re: historical author names

Hey,
There must be something wrong but where??  With your settings and 
entry, I get :

Pope John XII, Letter granting permission for, etc., ed. D. Whitelock, 
et al. in: Councils and Synods, I, 109--13.

which sounds about right. Could the error be on the preceding entries 
in your bib file ?

hth,
hélène.
