- edition number. For example, B. Obama, Hope, hope, etc..., New York : Faber, 2008, 4th edition You use there the edition field in a bib entry with an integer, most European styles put the number in superscript after or before the year (German way). The edition field works with most bibtex styles - reprint (meaning a photomecanical reproduction of an old book) Avicenna, Liber canonis, Venice, 1507 (reprint Hildesheim : Olms Verlag, 1964) Then you have to use Biblatex that adds to the bib file fields an origyear, origlocation, origtitle fields for reprint information or translation. The new chicago biblatex style uses them. - translation J. L. Borges, Histoire universelle de l'infamie, Paris : Christian Bourgeois, 1985 (orig. Historia universal de la infamia, Buenos Aires, 1935) Possible with the Biblatex origyear, origlocation, origtitle with some macro magic. If the bibliographic style that you want to use does not mandate to put the reprint / translation information in the footnotes citation but you just want to add this information at the end of a bibliographic entry in the ending bibliography then use the note field.
