Sacred texts often lack a clear title or author by which to search. Libraries use "uniform titles" to gather together all works related to a sacred text that may be in many editions or translations. The uniform title consists of the following in this order: [Sacred text name] [Subsection of text, if any] [Language(s)] [Version] [Date]. Examples of uniform titles appear below. If you have any difficulty finding what you need, please ask a librarian for assistance!

English translations of sacred texts can differ markedly. Always use the translation your professor recommends. If you are citing sacred texts in your work, make sure that you indicate which translation you are using.
