Diego Lopez Apr 3, 2023:
Context dependent We must understand that we don't usually just go by what a dictionary says at first glance—we ought to understand certain terms are extremely context dependent, Alberto.
What the Dictionary says about "Ann." According to the Oxford English Dictionary "Ann." stands for "Annual" as indicated in https://public.oed.com/how-to-use-the-oed/abbreviations/#a According to the Cambridge Dictionary, "annual" is, among other things, a yearly publication or "Anuario" in Spanish.

Para hablar de una edición comentada, habría que tenerse la certeza de que la editorial ha publicado una versión no comentada. Es posible que esa editorial solo haya publicado una versión comentada. Un ejemplo interesante del peligro de las adiciones.

agree Diego Lopez : Yes, that's a good point. It would be important to verify whether an unannotated version exists prior to adding "edición" to "comentada."

Usted parece no haber leído las referencias aportadas ni entender el contexto. No se trata de un anuario. Su disagree lo pone en una situación muy lamentable. Más que un esgrimir un argumento, un penoso pataleo.

Anuario (sorry....this is the correct one)

Ann. = Annual = a publication appearing once a year = Anuario. Cheers.

disagree Diego Lopez : Not sure about that one, Alberto...

Check out the following website, Diego: https://public.oed.com/how-to-use-the-oed/abbreviations/
disagree Jose Marino : Doble error, no se ha conformado con el error de Annex sino que lo duplica con Anuario, que solo puede defender descalificando respuestas correctas. SU ACTITUD ES MUY LAMENTABLE.

edición (ed.) / versión

"Ann." is an abbreviation for "annotated," which indicates that the law has been supplemented with additional notes and explanations. In the context of legal citations, "Ann." is used to refer to a set of legal codes or statutes that have been published with such annotations.

For example, in the sentence "S.C. Code of Laws Ann. Section 63-7-1630," "S.C. Code of Laws" refers to the legal code of the state of South Carolina, "Ann." indicates that the code has been annotated, and "Section 63-7-1630" refers to a specific section within that code.

The annotations included in an annotated legal code can provide helpful context and explanations for how a particular statute or law has been interpreted or applied by courts, and can also include references to relevant case law or secondary sources. Annotated legal codes are commonly used by lawyers, judges, and legal scholars as a resource for researching and interpreting the law.

Now, I believe the most appropriate translation of "Ann." would be "ed." (edición) or "versión" in Spanish.
Note from asker:
Sí, estuve investigando y se puede decir "versión comentada" o añadir solo "comentado/a" al final del nombre de la ley, norma, etc. Por ejemplo, Ley de aborto comentada.
Peer comment(s):

agree Toni Castano : Excellent explanation I fully agree with. But as for the rendering, I personally believe that "edición/versión comentada" is the right approach. Just "edición" or "versión" does not suffice. However, you have my agree.

I absolutely agree, Toni. Thank you for the feedback.

disagree Sandro Tomasi : Yes to annotated, pero en español se dice comentado, más allá de que sea una edición diferente.
