I'm translating a book with notes and I'm not sure which approach is best.

Footnotes for an original. End notes for third party commentaries. IMPO, phil books are unreadable without footnotes; endnotes and notes at the end of a chapter make me sick.

They’re extremely intrusive if the footnote continues on for multiple pages. I would just prefer them to be in the back if the footnotes are going to be so long.

I like footnotes because they have the word "foot" in them.

Each page has an attached foldout page if there are notes for it. The Jew fears foldoutnotes

>> No.21030037

Footnotes continuing on past a reasonable point should be contained in an annex at the end of the work.
