Is there an annotated version of One Hundred Years of Solitude?

I read it before the tv show, I’ll have you know
Backstory: I picked up the Rabassa translation for the first time in (mumbles) years and had to look several words up (ie alembic, Naciancenes). I read the Cátedra version in Spanish (mumbles) years ago, and I didn’t recall using the dictionary much…aha, the Spanish version is thoroughly annotated! (In chapter one, for example, both the above terms are glossed, in addition to definitions of indigenous flora and fauna, and explanations/ definitions of alchemical terms.)
Is there an English translation of the book that includes annotations? Initial searches have proven fruitless.
