 Description

During his lifetime, the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) published only one philosophical book, the Logisch-philosophische Abhandlung / Tractatus logico-philosophicus (1921/22), and the Dictionary for Elementary Schools (1926). However, on his death in 1951, he left behind a significant 20,000 page corpus of unpublished philosophical notebooks, manuscripts, typescripts and dictations. This corpus is called "Wittgenstein's Nachlass". The Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB, http://wab.uib.no/) was established in 1990 and has produced a machine-readable version of Wittgenstein's Nachlass in the form of facsimiles and transcriptions. At present the transcriptions are maintained in XML TEI format. In terms of licensing, WAB's transcriptions of the Wittgenstein Nachlass are organized in two sub-parts under two different licenses. Please note that the sub-part made available here (the part that was not already made available in the 1st subset) is licensed under the restricted license Clarin ACA-NC-NORED. Two sets of files are made available. One with the character entity encodings already converted, the other with the character entity encodings retained. Example: In set 2a the encoding "&p.es;" for period at the end of sentence is already converted to ".".
