Re: Re: Bug in jox.bst: doesn't like verbatim authors

Not more elegant, but works as well:
@book{snorri:hakon,
	author={Snorri{ }Sturluson},
	title={Die Geschichte von König Hakon dem Guten, in: Snorris Königsbuch~1},
	editor={Felix Niedner},
   series={Thule 14},
	publisher={Diederichs},
	address={Jena},
   pages={S.~137-173},
	year={1922}
}

Yours,
Carsten
