Digitizing of Jean Paul's complete letters from the critical edition

让·保罗是德语写作的主要作者之一。他出生在一个通过广泛通信进行交流的时代，就像我们现在使用社交网络所做的那样，就质量和数量而言，他也是最伟大的书信作者之一。由于他制作并保存了信件的副本，他的信件一直保存完好，大约有5000封信。让·保罗的信件在1952年至1964年之间由爱德华·贝伦德在他结束流亡归来后进行了编辑。这一版本仍然符合学术标准，其详尽的注释和广泛的注释索引的副刊，是让·保罗？S作品批评版的第三部分。它早在第二次世界大战之前就开始了。这是让·保罗？S作品批评版的第三部分，其中包含了他的信件，应该以可在互联网上免费获得的XML结构化文本的形式完整地呈现。它将保留卷、页和行号，并包括元数据。该项目是与TELOTA(BBAW)合作规划的。自1992年以来，柏林-勃兰登堡科学与人文学院对让·保罗的书信进行了编辑，将其作为其作品评论版的第四部分。这项编辑工作的一部分是将S索引数字化并不断修订，从而为这两种信函出版物创建了一个通用的检索工具。这一索引符合当前的研究状况，可在BBAW的Jean Paul版的网页上查阅。从数字化信件到索引条目的直接链接不仅开辟了一种新的可及性，而且还为信件增加了注释。与印刷版和信件文本的纯数字化相比，这是计划中的数字版所提供的决定性的附加值。

Jean Paul belongs to one of the principal authors of German-language writing. Born in an era that communicated through extensive correspondence, such as we do now with social networks, he is also one of the greatest letter writers in terms of quality and volume. Thanks to the fact that he made and kept copies of his letters, his correspondence has been well preserved, numbering about 5000 letters.Jean Paul's letters were edited between 1952 and 1964 by Eduard Berend after his return from exile. This edition, that still meets academic standards with its thorough annotations and a supplement with an extensive annotated index, was the third section of the critical edition of Jean Paul¿s works. It started long before the Second World War.This third section of the critical edition of Jean Paul¿s works that contains his letters shall be presented in full as xml structured text freely available on the Internet. It will retain volume, page and line numbering and include metadata. This project is planned in cooperation with TELOTA (BBAW). The long-term availability of the results is guaranteed by the BBAW.Since 1992 the letters to Jean Paul have been edited as the fourth section of the critical edition of his works at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. A part of this editorial work has been to digitize and continuously revise Berend¿s index, thus creating a common access tool for both letter publications. This index corresponds to the current state of research and is available in the internet at the webpage of the Jean Paul Edition at the BBAW. Direct links from the digitized letters to the entries of the index not only open up a new kind of accessibility, but also add commentary to the letters. That is the decisive added value provided by this planned digital edition when compared to the print edition and to a pure digitization of the texts of letters.
