<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 365144, member: 33&quot;]I&#039;ve been unable to find an official definition of &quot;manuscript edition&quot; so far. What these so far look like to me are nice, therefore special, editions of an author&#039;s collected works, or sometimes just one work, that includes a facsimile of part of a manuscript, as you described. I will do a little more looking. One thing that is clear from the John Muir set that you mentioned that is that it is not the very first publishing of his work. It might possibly be the first time the works were collected all in one place. My theory is that the Muir and Thoreau collected works that are called manuscript editions were probably always expensive. So far I have not verified that. Will be back later with more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
