HELP! how would I site this source as a footnote or endnote?

Mohamed Kably wrote the essay “Legitimacy of State Power and Socioreligious Variations in Medieval Morocco,” which appeared on pages 17-29 of the book In the Shadow of the Sultan, edited by Rahma Bourqia and Susan Gilson Miller. Harvard University Press (Cambridge, Massachusetts) published In the Shadow of the Sultan in 1999. The subtitle of the book is “Culture, Power, and Politics in Morocco.” How should I cite the entirety of Kably’s essay from this book?HELP! how would I site this source as a footnote or endnote?
for notes:





Mohamed Kably, ';Legitimacy of State Power and Socioreligious Variations in Medieval Morocco,'; in (italics) Shadow of the Sultan (/italics), ed. Rahma Bourqia and Susan Gilson Miller, 17-29 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1999).





The page numbers in your notes should only cover the pages that you are using for that particular citation. For example, if you use only pages 20-21 in the part of your paper that you are citing, you should only document those pages in the note. Your bibliography should include all the pages from the work.





You may not need to use the subtitle in the notes but be sure to include it in your bibliography. you would use a colon before the subtitle. If you want to include the subtitle in the notes to be sure, you can, just put a colon at the end of the book and write in the subtitle. Make sure the entire title is italicized in the notes!





You need more formal citations for your bibliography.





The Chicago Manual of Style is used by writers and editors of scholarly books and journals. It's the standard. I first discovered and used mine in college as a history major and use it now to write all professional papers; it has everything!HELP! how would I site this source as a footnote or endnote?
Ooh, it depends on what you are using (ie MLA, Turbian, etc)





My school used the Turabian Citation Guide:
