Nice to see, another medievalist using LyX.

Easy solution, is to enter in your bib file in the volume field something
like 54:2 or 54, 2 if you want a comma

Well you can hack the jurabib bst to change the order of fields. Hacking
jurabib is not that easy because part of the formatting is done in the bst
file and part in the jurabib latex macro. 

Another solution is to jump on the biblatex boat. Biblatex is much cleaner
and easier to hack but :
- there is no 'archive' type yet
- export to MsWord through tex4ht does not work yet
- the documentation is very 'German', comprehensive but not very practical 

For medievalists, it would also be nice to have a 'manuscript' type and
a 'critical edition' type.

If you are starting writing the thesis, I would go the biblatex way.

Cheers,
Charles
