Your version of
Chicago is way out of date. The current version (released in 2010) is the 16th edition and there have been many changes since the 12th edition.
Also, which style manual is appropriate depends on the journal, publisher, and field.
Chicago is most widely used, but there are also the
American Psychological Association Style Manual, the
MLA (Modern Language Association) manual, the
AMA (American Medical Association)
Manual of Style, the Council of Science Editors'
Scientific Style and Format manual, and numerous others.
