Sometimes an author will quote or paraphrase another person’s work. The other work that is referenced is called the original source. The article you are reading is called the secondary source. You may wish to include that quoted or paraphrased information from the original source in your paper.
Whenever possible, you should try to find and cite the original source; Chicago style advises against citations taken from secondary sources. Sometimes the original source is not available. In those cases, both the original source and the secondary source must be listed in the note and the bibliography.
The Chicago manual does not have an example for Bibliographies for secondary sources. The formatting of the examples below are based on Turabian style, section 17.9.3. (Turabian is a modified version of Chicago style)
You can find the citation information for the original source by looking at the bibliography of the secondary source.
No matter the type of source, you always provide full citation information for the secondary source followed by the words "quoted in" and then full citation information for the original source.
