The Nachlass
Since version 0.9 the edition contains, alongside the Sämmtliche Werke, Schelling’s unpublished papers from Munich and Berlin: drafts of the Ages of the World, lecture manuscripts, student transcripts, calendars. Text and markup come entirely from the new edition of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. We present its openly licensed reading texts here in the layout of this edition, without changing a word.

License and changes
The texts of the new edition are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (as stated by the Academy on schelling.badw.de). We have changed them as follows: the Academy’s web pages were converted back to TEI P5 by machine and typeset anew for these pages; the wording has been checked character by character and is unchanged. Left out are the cross-references to parallel passages and topics, facsimiles, internal database notes and navigation. Schelling’s ten drawings are reproduced from the Academy’s images, with credit. Notes and marginalia stand in the margin rather than in the line, leaf changes in the left margin, the calendars as tables; expansions of abbreviations are set more quietly. Formulas, which the Academy writes as LaTeX, are set in simplified form.
This presentation was not made or reviewed by the Academy or the projects, and it does not speak for them. Errors of presentation are ours; the original is authoritative.
Citing
Please cite the original, with paragraph number and date: the paragraph numbers in the margin are the Academy’s and link there.
