BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Extra }, or forgotten $

[sjkiss]

I'm getting this error:

./bpa.canada.working.tex:263: Extra }, or forgotten $.
<recently read> }

l.263

?
./bpa.canada.working.tex:263: Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
}
l.263

The a minimal working example of my text is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authordate, natbib, useprefix]{biblatex-chicago}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\usepackage{rotating}
\bibliography{/users/simon/Documents/simon.bib}
\newcommand{\degree}{\ensuremath{^\circ}}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Abstract}
\section{Introduction}
Test Text
\citep{Nagel:1999ui}
%\printbibliography
\end{document}

I think I've isolated the error to the \printbibliography command, but it's very weird.

Uncommenting it in the minimal code example above allows me to compile this fine, but as I start adding in text and tables to the minimal example then I recreate the error reported above. Can anyone clarify what is going on here?
Note: I was using biblatex (not biblatex-chicago) and it was compiling nicely.

Referred bibliographic entry is as follows:

Code: Select all

@article{Nagel:1999ui,
author = {Nagel, S and Vom Saal, F},
title = {{Developmental effects of estrogenic chemicals are predicted by an in vitro assay incorporating modification of cell uptake by serum* 1}},
journal = {The Journal of Steroid {\ldots}},
year = {1999}
}

I should say: clicking through the errors compiles a file that looks good, but I'd like to clarify this error.

Your example works for me, the error must be somewwhere else. Please have a look at Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example.

Also, you should drop the option for graphicx.
