In MLA format for year of publication, do u write the original publication date or the latest copyright date?

Question

My book was originally released in 1906 and has been rereleased several times. The one I'm using was copyrighted in 2001. Which date do I use?

Answer 1

This would be an example of 5.6.17 ("A Republished Book") in the MLA Handbook. The year of most recent copyright is what you give in your citation where you list the publication details (with the publication city and publisher). However, you can also include the date of original publication before that. The example they provide is:

Atwood, Margaret. The Blind Assassin. 2000. New York: Knopf-Random, 2001.

In this entry, 2001 is the most recent copyright date, and 2000 is the original publication date.

Answer 2

The lastest copyright date. so in you question i would use 2000

why because you are using the 2000 edition
not
the edition from 1906

Answer 3

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers have been written via 3 distinctive components. The E source became written between 922 and 722 BCE, the J source became written between 848 and 722 BCE, and the P source became written between 722 and 609 BCE, probable interior the time of King Hezekiah. Deuteronomy, alongside with the subsequent six books of the Bible, became probable written down approximately 622 BCE. Edit: As for the hot testomony, Paul's letters have been written interior the midst of the 1st century CE, Mark's gospel became written around sixty 5 CE, John's gospel became written around ninety CE, and the different gospels have been written between those 2 dates. @Jim: ought to you link me to an editorial on the Hebrew text textile you suggested?

Answer 4

I do all my footnotes in MLA (Modern Language Association) style: George Walker Bush instead of Bush, George Walker. Unfortunately, so does Wikipedia.

The book you have at hand is obvioiusly in the public domain with later-added copyright material.

Introductions, forewards, afterwords and indices are all copyrightable. But the 75-year-old text is public domain,

Answer 5

The latest copyright date of that edition; I'm pretty sure. Try to google it to be safe.

Answer 6

I always put the original, this is how I remember being taught.
