No, lots of books have footnotes that continuously until a new chapter and then start over. They rarely start over on each page, at least not in the materials I have been reading in seminary.

For example, they will number the first footnote as 1, then 2, then on the next page they start over with 1 again. That is, unless there is only one footnote; in which case I have usually seen a star. So it seems like an unconventional way of doing footnotes to keep adding on to the number instead of starting over with each new page.. Evan
