Marcus Aurelius' Meditations - problem with editions?

[Asteropê]

I noticed something that seems like a problem, but I'm not sure.

The issue with with Marcus Aurelius' Meditations book

If you'd look at the editions listed:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Some of them are not straight translations, but commentary or analysis.

When I tried to add:
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Selections Annotated & Explained

It lumped in with:
Meditations

In fact in my library, only 1 book shows up, when I should have 3 books showing up. But since they're all lumped as editions of 1 book, it's not doing that.

Is this correct?
I understand why straight translations of Meditations would be lumped together, but analysis and commentary as well? The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Selections Annotated & Explained doesn't even have the full text of Mediations, only parts.
I don't know if there are other books like this within the "editions" as well.

Could someone confirm or explain the procedure with this?

Thanks!

Also, I'm confused because the books listed under editions are all different books, not the same book or even translations of the same book. I looked in the Manual and it says to combine the SAME book and translations of the SAME book (example: Harry Potter, book 1 and Harry Potter, book 1 in Spanish)...but a lot of these are totally different books with different authors (translators), publishers, etc.

When I try to search GR for The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Selections Annotated & Explained the first thing that comes up is: Meditations because the first is an edition of the second. They have different ISBNs and are treated as separate everywhere else. Because they're different books! The only thing they have in common is the topic and text they're translating.

All of the versions of Meditations, when searched are lumped into Meditations, even though they're different translations, publishers, authors, etc.

So, I am wondering if this is how books such as this are treated? Or was this a mistake? (I ask because I came across a mistake where all the books of an author all became editions of 1 book and had to be separated).

Did I miss the part in the Manual about this? I just saw the section about combing and it didn't seem to indicate this should happen, but I'm not sure, given that this is a more classical book and such.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you!

There probably needs to be some separating done, but the combine/separate function is down right now. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

That is correct. Books with that content and some annotations should be as well. You can shelve/review more than one edition of a book, if you like: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/7...
