When the ref. is ready, such out-of-copyright is easily ordered as

And when you obtain pdf, why not publish it somewhere on the WWW, to
help others in similar situation? It is out of copyright, after all.
Critical editions and translations can be copyrighted. I have even seen
copyright assertions on photographic reproductions of manuscripts,
though what the copyright covers (just introduction and notes or all)
I don't know. An extreme example is the claim of copyright attached
to an e-text of a critical edition, by the one who keyed it in,
(not the institute that published the edition).
