Gates may have included printings. For example, HUC, NY has one published in Warsaw by Zuckerman in 1897 that is "hotsaah 2 u-metukenet."
That means there was an earlier printing as well, and that the 1902 might have been a reprint of the 1897. This would indicate that there was both the interest and a readership of such a size as to support this many "editions."
