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 date '25Maylo' interpreted as 25May42 based on renewal date 1970 and surrounding entries (e.g., part 2 has 27May4o -> 27May42). Original number LI1444 corrected to LP11444 (OCR misread P as I, and dropped P).”
