# Legitimately Many, wanted — a declared absence: the Theophrastus Metaphysics editions, Drossaart Lulofs's Nicolaus, Thesleff and Szlezák on pseudo-Archytas, Dorandi's Philodemus, PSI XV 1488, Rashed's Ptolemy, Zürcher, Chroust and the Masters exchange

The editions and studies the remaining debts of the study Legitimately Many name and the thirty-second seating could not hold, declared beside the texts it holds (32/01–32/10, 32/12), at the author's direction of 2026-11-02. Thirteen are still in their United States term. Four are open now and wanted: Brandis and Usener, for which no copy was found; Ross and Fobes, public domain in the United States since 2025, with no open copy found; and the rest of Hegel's lectures, whose scan is referenced and was OCR'd only for pp. 169–241. The modern editions are where the twentieth century numbered and dated what the seated texts carry, so each entry names what the study cites from it.
