This documentation of the genesis of Goethe's works was compiled in
the 1950s by Momme and Katharina Mommsen at the Deutsche Akademie
der Wissenschaften [German Academy of Sciences] in East Berlin.and
is now continued at the Mommsen Foundation for the Advancement of
Goethe Research in California. The work reconstructs and documents
the history of the genesis of Goethe's works, based on all of the
currently available documents, letters and personal journal entries
written by Goethe himself and those close to him. The material
includes numerous texts that were previously unknown or largely
ignored. The carefully edited documents, which are arranged in
chronological order, provide unique insight into the creative
processes behind Goethe's works and into both the intellectual and
personal cosmos in which Goethe created them. The background of the
genesis of his biographical, historical, art-theoretical and
natural-scientific writings is also documented. The first three
volumes of the work have been published by Walter de Gruyter in
2006. The first two volumes are reproductions of the volumes
originally published in 1958, which have been expanded to include
new documents. It is planned to publish one additional volume every
two years. The complete work comprise approximately 18 volumes
