In the compilation of this catalog expert bibliographers employed every means to provide these scrupulously detailed descriptions w/ collations & signatures carefully given for all Goethe editions to 1832. * Prepared primarily w an eye to assisting the American scholar & teacher to whom the large foreign Goethe collections were not available, the Catalog includes modern inexpensive reprints of important items. * The manuscripts germane to this volume are not listed together but are inserted where an association value is pronounced. This required the printing of longer excerpts, especially from the letters, to emphasize the relationship. By this procedure much unpublished material becomes immediately available for research. The music items are described in the body of the Catalog, while the variety of the compositions & the names of the composers are included in the two appendices * Numerous playbills & illustrations * Since its publication (1940) this superb bibliographic study has proved invaluable to scholars, bibliographers & antiquarians, & it remains a cornerstone of any Goethe reference collection. * This title is carefully packaged in a multi-walled, custom carton for shipment within the United States at no additional charge via USPS PRIORITY MAIL.
