I think it makes sense to expand the superscripts to "nth edition"
because it's not obvious what they mean otherwise.
I don't know what B-D means so I can't say if we want to keep small
caps. It depends on what it means.
You can italicize N.F. since it seems to be an uncommon academic
abbreviation. But the other ones are fairly common and well understood
so they don't need italics.
