In literary scholarship the term "eds"—a common abbreviation for "editions"—is used to indicate variant readings, editorial notes, and changes that have occurred over time in a text’s transmission. For example, in Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake references to “recent eds.” ([1], [2]) and “the 1st ed. and that of 1821” ([3], [4]) illustrate how editors have revised readings across different printings, while the phrase “old eds.” in Christopher Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great ([5], [6], [7]) signals traditional or earlier versions of the text. These citations not only highlight specific textual differences and misprints—such as those noted in [8] and [9]—but also reflect broader scholarly efforts to document a work’s editorial history and the evolution of its language over successive editions.
