We never really set where the bar should be, but we all seemed to agree (at the time) that an item should be generally available in some way. It's too onorous to require a random editor to have to verify something against a single copy. By the way, you would think that if something this rare were really worth citing, that it would have already been published in a scholarly edition. Your example is a bit eccentric, I wonder if you have an actual case in mind. Will Johnson ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
