David Hume Pagination Converter
Convert SBN page numbers into universal references and vice versa
Enter
either
an SBN page number (e.g. 523)
or
an universal reference (e.g. 3.2.5.12) below:
Treatise and Abstract
Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (EHU)
Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals (EPM)
Hints:
To get the SBN page number for Preface 2 or Abstract 2 or Appendix 2, or to get the universal reference for SBN page number 2 from the
Treatise and Abstract
, simply enter '2' (without the quotes). Try it! Similarly, to get the SBN page number for the second dialogue from the
EPM
, enter '2' (again, without the quotes) and choose "EPM" from the drop-down menu. This converter will try to guess what you need, so just type in a number and you'll get back something meaningful. For example, enter '4.4' and choose the
EPM
from the drop-down menu and you'll get results for both paragraph 4.4 and Appendix 4.4.
This is a tool for scholars of
David Hume
's work, or for those of us who for some other reason have to read secondary literature on Hume's work or cite Hume. Much of the secondary literature uses older Selby-Bigge/Nidditch (SBN) page citations, which it is often useful to translate into an universal reference established by Oxford University Press editions of
Hume's
Treatise
and
Abstract
(edited by Norton & Norton)
, as well as Hume's two
Enquiries
.

After I had made this converter, I finally found
the other converter.
I think mine has a more intuitive user interface.
Hopefully mine gives the same results...
