Template:RQ:Surrey Aenaeis/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey's translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's work The Aeneid, entitled Certain Bokes of Virgiles Aenaeis, Turned into English Meter (1814); the 1st edition ([London]: Apud Ricardum Tottel, 1557; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |book= – mandatory: the book number quoted from, either |book=2 or |book=4.
• |url= or |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is not paginated, either:
  • use |url= to specify the URL of the webpage of the online version of the work to be linked to, like this: |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dmpbAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP13; or
  • use |page= to specify the Google Books "page" to be linked to. The actual work is unpaginated, but Google Books has assigned numbers to each page of the work. For example, if the URL of the webpage to be linked to is https://books.google.com/books?id=dmpbAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP13, specify |page=13.

This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
