This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Original number '11880' interpreted as LP1880 (common OCR drop of P and misread of 8 as 8). Original date '€Apr48' read as 1Apr48 (€ likely OCR artifact for 1). Renewal date '1J3ul175' corrected to 1Jul75.”
