All notes of ebook mistakenly link to the book's title page. What's best way to fix?

Hello there.

I have no experience with editing ebooks. I am really just a reader. but there's an ebook where all the links to the end-of-chapter notes just go to the book's cover. So I would like to fix it, especially because this book is heavily noted.

There isn't a separate endnotes file. The notes appear at the end of every
chapter, where the chapter is named index_split_006.xhtml, index_split_007.xhtml and so on. (This is in contrast to the print edition, which have footnotes, appearing at the bottom of the page).

In Sigil's preview, the text looks like:
Quote:
absolute power of the state.”14 This is incorrect
In Sigil's editor window, it looks like:
Code:
 absolute power of the state.”</span><a class="S-T1" href="../Text/index_split_000.xhtml#anchor22"><span class="S-T6">14</span></a> <span class="S-T1">This is incorrect

Note #14, at the end of chapter 1, looks like this in the Preview window:
Quote:
14 P. Lobstein, Einleitung in die Evangelische Dogmatik (Freiburg, 1897), 23.
And looks like this in the Editor window:
Code:
  <p class="P-P14"><span class="S-T1" id="anchor129"></span><a class="S-T1" href="../Text/index_split_000.xhtml#anchor60"><span class="S-T6">14</span></a> <span class="S-T1">P. Lobstein,</span> <span class="S-T5">Einleitung in die Evangelische Dogmatik</span> <span class="S-T1">(Freiburg, 1897), 23.</span> </p>

Note 15, in the body, looks like this in the Preview:
Quote:
and many others after him have taught us.15 Rome can
and like this in the Editor view:
Code:
 and many others after him have taught us.</span><a class="S-T1" href="../Text/index_split_000.xhtml#anchor23"><span class="S-T6">15</span></a> <span class="S-T1">Rome can
At the end of the chapter, Note #15 looks like this, in Preview window:

Quote:
15 Friedrich Schleiermacher, Die Christliche Sitte nach dem Grundsazen der evangelischen Kirche dargestellt (Berlin: G. Reimer, 1884), 5 [Introduction to Christian Ethics, trans. John Shelley (Nashville: Abingdon, 1989)]; Richard Rothe, Zur Dogmatik (Gotha: Perthes, 1869), 10; Alexander Schweizer, Die Glaubenslehre der evangelisch-reformirten Kirche (Zurich: Orell, Fussli, 1847), I, 23.
and like this in the Editor view:
Code:
<p class="P-P14"><span class="S-T1" id="anchor130"></span><a class="S-T1" href="../Text/index_split_000.xhtml#anchor61"><span class="S-T6">15</span></a> <span class="S-T1">Friedrich Schleiermacher,</span> <span class="S-T5">Die Christliche Sitte nach dem Grundsazen der evangelischen Kirche dargestellt</span> <span class="S-T1">(Berlin: G. Reimer, 1884), 5 [</span><span class="S-T5">Introduction to Christian Ethics</span><span class="S-T1">, trans. John Shelley (Nashville: Abingdon, 1989)]; Richard Rothe,</span> <span class="S-T5">Zur Dogmatik</span> <span class="S-T1">(Gotha: Perthes, 1869), 10; Alexander Schweizer,</span> <span class="S-T5">Die Glaubenslehre der evangelisch-reformirten Kirche</span> <span class="S-T1">(Zurich: Orell, Fussli, 1847), I, 23.</span> </p>
What's the best way to fix ALL the notes in this four-volume work? (Each volume is its own epub.) In the first volume alone, I'm guessing there's about 500 notes, scattered from index_split_004.xhtml through to index_split_025.xhtml.
