It's worse than a study bible. It makes you think that, if they have to buttress the text with all this 'explanation', then perhaps the original is too alluring, too true, to be shown as such.

The "Critique Edition" of Mein Kampf is probably a worse example of this same phenomenon. It looks like a study bible.

>(yuk think of those "commented" editions lol).

It's like a fucking study bible. They can't let you read the text without all this garbage because then you would come to identify with it.

There are versions of Mein Kampf (mostly in German) that have every page shrouded in ante-, and post notes, as if they were a fucking study bible.

There is no limit to the pilpul kikery.
