Chicago Manual vs. Turabian Manual • Citation styles are the same, so for your purposes, interchangeable (and I will use terms interchangeably) • Turabian manual is more user-friendly, geared toward students • Chicago manual includes more information for publishing (how to assemble an index for your book, format tables, etc. etc.)
Two Versions of Chicago/Turabian Style ONLY FOR DR. LOATS!!

Discursive/Explanatory Footnotes 12 Often, in the eighteenth century, the word “arts” was used when referring to technical skills. The French used the expression arts et métiers when they wished to talk about the mechanical arts. 13 See John Bronowski, The Common Sense of Science (London: Vintage, 1951), Chap. 1, for a discussion of this new sensibility.
