Yes of course. I would still like to see a valid example of a rare work
cited where there is no scholarly edition available. I'm skeptical that such
a case exists.
As I said, we don't require verification of all things by all editors, and
we don't want a situation where only a few editors can verify *a* thing.
What we want is something in the middle, a bell curve of verification-ability.
But with both 10% ends chopped off. Other encyclopedias do not cite to
rare holdings, they will cite to a published edition of such a rare holding.
