Bradford's comment is "Modernist; much too loose with emendations."

I had to look up the word emendation. According to Dictionary.com it means: "An alteration intended to improve: textual emendations made by the editor."

So I suppose that Bradford means that Gotshalk changed the text of the Zhouyi a bit too much. Well, that's what Modernists do.

Jesed-
I read the book. I read them all at least twice.
Sometimes that was excruciatingly painful.
Gotshalk drove me nuts, moving texts around from line to line
and changing sentences around on the merest whim, and dropping
passages he couldn't understand. He was even worse than Rutt
in this senseless practice. Would that their founder and leader,
Gao Heng, were never born!

Everyone knows how much I like to rail at the modernists
Just remember that grain of salt

But I'd still get a library copy first before investing in one
