: Cite Multiple sources Chicago manual style I have cited the same source multiple times on one page of my essay. In my footnotes do I have to list the source each time, or is there a technique

When using the Chicago style, the following (from here) may be considered:

The first note for each source should include all relevant information
about the source: author’s full name, source title, and facts of
publication. If you cite the same source again, the note need only
include the surname of the author, a shortened form of the title (if
more than four words), and page number(s).

If you cite the same source and page number(s) from a single source
two or more times consecutively, the corresponding note should use the
word “Ibid.,” an abbreviated form of the Latin ibidem, which means
“in the same place.” If you use the same source but a different page
number, the corresponding note should use “Ibid.” followed by a comma
and the new page number(s).

So, you would cite the sources in brief every time they come after the first full citation. To understand how to shorten the citation, refer here.
