The Reception in the English Speaking World 1945
German Journal Database (ZDB): Number of copies (x) per manifestations (y) - 72% of all manifestations are represented in fewer than 4 copies - If the German libraries want to retain at least 3 copies of every manifestation, they would have to preserve 59% of all holdings 2016 - Because of the longevity of a lot of journals, the possible reduction by volumes will be significant higher.

How to cluster the translations from S. G. C. Middlemore ?
The Translation of Samuel George Chetwynd Middlemore (+1890) • Preface of 1 th edition 1878: „The translation ist made from the 3 rd edition of the original, recently published in Germany, with slight additions to the text, and large additions to the notes, by Dr. Ludwig Geiger of Berlin. It also contains some fresh matter communicated by Dr. Burckhardt to Professor Diego Valbusa of Mantua, the Italian translator of the Book. “ • Middlemore to Burckhardt 20. 3. 1889: „Nun darf ich Ihn fragen, ob Sie irgend einige Zusätze, Anmerkungen oder Verbesserungen mit der neuen Auflage einzuverleiben verlangen möchten? “ • Burckhardt to Middlemore 23. 3. 1889: „Zusätze habe ich Ihnen keine zu senden, da ich den italienischen Studien leider entfremdet worden bin. - Eine neuere Auflage als die IV. deutsche (wiederum von Prof. Geiger besorgte) giebt es nicht und ich glaube auch daß keine weitere folgen wird, indem das Buch jetzt seinen Dienst gethan zu haben scheint. “
No clustering Same manifestation as No. 1, printer in place of pubisher No clustering, although uniform title at hand Different romanization and normalization Cluster of 2 expressions but in reality same manifestation Cluster of 2 manifestations but in reality one Cluster of „ 599“ expressions? Cluster of „ 599“ manifestations from different expressions?
No clustering of cyrillic and romanized titles No clustering of the new translation different romanizations
