Maybe eventually. First an accurate transcription and translation of the annotations would have to be made. Then there'd have to be a lot of editorial work integrating the changed. You'd have to decide what you want--a 'reading' edition that presented a unified text? Online, with a good photographic reproduction, you could do something like what was done for Emily Dickinson (https://www.edickinson.org/)--page images with text transcriptions where annotations can be toggled on and off. You'd just need to find someone willing to pay for it.

The punchline here is that the book is full of the author's own copy-edit notes for a hypothetical 3rd edition of the human anatomy book.
I didn't get a clear indication from the story whether anyone thought it would be worth pursuing finishing that project and publishing a new edition.
