Michael Egan says that he is willing to discuss my data with anyone but since it is so voluminous and detailed it’s only worth doing so after they’ve reviewed it.

I have read Egan's book, as well as his articles in response to Mac Jackson (and other things as well), and I authored a lengthy opinion analyzing his contentions in detail.  Other than asserting, without explanation or support, that it was a "hatchet job" and promising to produce a point-by-point refutation (which has not been forthcoming), Egan has avoided discussing it.

Such abbreviations are everywhere in early modern documents, but are not errors in transcription. 

They are customary habits of transcription. I was merely advertising some forthcoming work.
