For three weeks I've been working on the bibliography for the first three chapters of my dissertation.

I keep on seeing that "what are you reading" thread, and I think to myself - I'm navigating through about 400 sources at once. I was wrong - it's 728.

I've read and cited in the first three chapters:

Bibliographic Resources and Sourcebooks - 40
Artwork - 31
Ancient sources [all in Latin or Greek] - 84
Fragments and Papyri [all in Latin or Greek] - 22
Modern Sources [English, German, and French] - 551
Total = 728 for the first three chapters

Ch 1 – 68 pg and 179 footnotes
Ch 2 – 38 pgs and 129 footnotes
Ch 3 – 54 pgs and 161 footnotes
Total = 469 footnotes in the first three chapters

I've drafted chapters four and five, but they are still short - about 25 pages and 150 notes, maybe 100 sources or so.

[I often put more than one reference in a footnote, which is why I have more books than notes]
