Editor as creator?
I want to refer to a book by its editor rather than its author. The reference is:
Von Thünen's Isolated State: An English Edition of Der Isolierte Staat by Johann Heinrich Von Thünen, ed. Peter Hall, trans. Carla M. Wartenberg. Pergamon 1966.
The rationale for this is that Johann himself wrote the book in German and died in 1850, long before the translation. The actual title of the book differs from the one Von Thunen wrote, yet Peter Hall was not the author.
Using Chicago A-D, I believe citations should be "(Hall, ed. 1966)" and the entry in the list of references should be:
Hall, Peter, ed. 1966. Von Thünen's Isolated State: An English Edition of Der Isolierte Staat by Johann Heinrich Von Thünen, trans. Carla M. Wartenberg. Pergamon.
Is this correct? And if so, how to do this in Zotero?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
For in-text citations, "ed." is not usually included (only in the bibliography).
Thanks!
