German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Printing & Publishing
German term or phrase: Aufl.
Die Frage ist, ob man 'edition' ebenfalls abkürzt oder meist ausgeschrieben stehen lässt. Wenn es in der Regel abgegkürzt wird, ist es dann ed. ? Es geht darum, was im Buchdeckel steht.

edition
Explanation:
Ich würde es nicht abkürzen. Falls es sich um die Angabe auf der Buchinnenseite handelt, finde ich auch die Abkürzung des deutschen, "Aufl." eher seltsam
