edition gets abbreviated "ed." according to the APA standard.

p.203 of the 2013 edition of the APA style guide:

\startquotation
* Place information about editions, volume numbers, and page numbers
(such as revised edition, volume number, or chapter page range) in
parentheses following the title, with the period after the parentheses:
(Rev. ed.) or (Vol. xx, pp. xxx–xxx). As with periodicals, for any
nonroutine information that is important for identification and
retrieval, place a description of content in brackets following the
title: [Brochure]. 
\stopquotation

Now, the mkii bibliography uses a sort of hybrid APA-like style, but
normally there would NOT be a period after "edition" (unless it is
abbreviated "ed.") as it should be followed either by a comma or by a
right parenthesis.
