IF 'editing' means producing a text, and assembling the variants and the variables, it's a possible activity. Once it involves 'annotating', it shifts into a very different realm of scholarship. So you could say there's nothing wrong with Share's editing, in the restricted sense.

The small demonstration is all that is necessary to speak the nature of the book and its apparatus . . . and continue my low estimation of Don Share's editorial abilities. (Did he farm out the notes to undergrads?) Unfortunate, for I was looking forward to the book. <br /><br />(It's selling only $25US new here, not that much higher than what _Bunting's Persia_ is selling new here, $16US, nor than the complete at $17 and change -- the oddities of international sales. Perhaps of better value here . . . and my complete was damaged by water, alas.)A.E.M. Baumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645522810843138721noreply@blogger.com
