我正在使用 BibTeX。我想从 1 以后的数字开始对参考书目进行编号。我可以\thebibliography在序言中重新定义（经常被引用的“解决方案”）。一个最小的例子（bla.tex）：
\documentclass{article}
\let\oldthebibliography=\thebibliography
\let\oldendthebibliography=\endthebibliography
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
\oldthebibliography{#1}%
\setcounter{enumiv}{77}%
}{\oldendthebibliography}
\begin{document}
This is a test. Some newer thing
about a canonical quantum gravity approach\cite{rovelli2004}.
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio-physics}
\end{document}
参考书目文件biblio-physics.bib仅包含一个条目：
@BOOK{rovelli2004,
author = {Rovelli, Carlo},
citeulike-article-id = {469595},
howpublished = {Hardcover},
isbn = {0521837332},
keywords = {quantum\_gravity},
month = {November},
posted-at = {2007-05-06 15:26:19},
priority = {3},
publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
address = {Cambridge},
title = {Quantum Gravity},
url = {http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike09-20\&path=ASIN/0521837332},
year = {2004}
}
这应该从 78 开始编号，但是，使用 TeX Live 2012 的一个最小示例，我收到以下错误pdflatex：

如果没有重新定义\thebibliography，文档就可以很好地编译，但当然要从一开始参考书目项目。
