Chadwyck-Healey Editorial Statement:
The Goethes Werke database consists primarily of the Weimar
Edition of Goethe's works, originally published between 1887-1919
by Hermann Böhlau (and Nachfolger) under the
patronage of Großherzogin Sophie von Sachsen and hence
often referred to as the Sophien-Ausgabe. It is supplemented
by material not found in the Weimar Edition, namely Goethes
Gespräche, edited by Woldemar Freiherr von Biedermann
(Leipzig, 1889-1896) and all the letters discovered since the
completion of the Weimar Edition: Goethes Werke, Nachträge
zur Weimarer Ausgabe, edited by Paul Raabe (dtv, München, 1990).
All three of these sources are reproduced in their entirety (some 65,000
pages of text). All tables, diagrams, charts and illustrations
are included, together with all of the comprehensive editorial
apparatus. Original page breaks and line numbers are captured,
as are the various typographic features of the printed editions.
Where possible, sections of Errata and Addenda have been appropriately
incorporated in the texts themselves.
