Ernst Meisters 'Sage vom Ganzen den Satz' : textgenetischer Apparat
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe principal features of the genetic text edition of this volume consisting of 70 poems are – in hierachical order – accuracy, legibility and austerity of the means of representation. The task was the complete and exact portrayal of all the classifiable manuscripts from the estate, which were available – but not universally edited for the archives – at the time of the completion of the project by the Germanistisches Institut of the RTWH Aachen. There were some additional finds from private sources so that about 800 manuscript pages had to be considered – some of them hardly legible and not easily to be incorporated in the genesis of the texts. The edition relies on the paradigmatic presentation by column, first developped by Hans Zeller for the edition of C.F. Meyer. Its model is the Bonn Celan edition (BCA), these days the tried and trusted prototype for editions of unrhymed, short poems not organized in metrical form. The essential modifications of this concept are due to the idiosyncrasies of both the manuscripts and Ernst Meister's way of working. It was therefore necessary to introduce an additional category for the apparatus to list the frequent "additional texts" of Ernst Meister, which do not belong to the texts themselves but relate to them in varying degrees. In addition, a way had to be found to differentiate between the chronological text versions. Three means of presentation are being employed: 1) the integral complete reproduction of a text version, 2) the synoptic representation of several versions and 3) the abbreviated listing of any divergence from the previous text version. 1) and 2) and 2) and 3) can be combined. Because of the varied material basis and the multitude of nearly identical or only partially different longer texts the possibilities of the synoptic presentation had to be used in a more variable way then in the BCA.
