Weimar Edition (Luther)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weimar edition

The so-called Weimar Edition (WA) is a critical complete edition that includes all of Martin Luther's writings as well as his oral statements recorded by others in Latin or German. The official title of this issue is: D. Martin Luther's Works .

history

The WA was started in 1883 for Luther's 400th birthday and was completed in 2009. The WA has 127 volumes in quarto format with a total of approx. 80,000 pages. The WA was a project headed by a commission set up by the Prussian Ministry of Education. Later - after the end of Prussia in 1945 - the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences took on a supervisory role in the design of the Weimar edition.

It is divided into:

  • Dinner speeches, 6 volumes (WA TR)
  • German Bible , 15 volumes (WA DB)
  • Correspondence, 18 volumes (WA BR)
  • Writings / works, 80 volumes (WA)

A subject index has been created for all departments.

The WA is also available as an electronic database, but it is only accessible and usable in a university network with installed Citrix ICA client for those who have been accepted as users. This has put a stop to general public use. However, it is possible to view and download works up to volume 54 from Internet Archive ( see below ) .

In addition to the WA, there are other Luther editions that meet scientific standards, but are not all complete. The editors of the WA include u. a. Rudolf Hermann and Gerhard Ebeling .
