Editorial Case Studies from Goethe's Venetian Epigrams

SRCTS and online

International Workshop of the Stuttgart Research Centre for Text Studies in cooperation with the Istituto Italiano di Studi Germanici, the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and the Goethe and Schiller Archive Weimar

The Venetian Epigrams – Critical Digital Edition project is hosting a workshop at the Stuttgart Research Centre for Text Studies (SRCTS) on January 15–16, 2026. The aim of this event is the open discussion and collaborative analysis of selected editorial case studies from the editorial workshop. The examples will be commented on and evaluated by the staff of the VEdition at the SRC and the cooperation partners of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar.

The discussion will focus on the following special cases:
- notebook H54, considered the first independent document of the Venetian Epigrams,
- the heterogeneous travel diary H61, which Goethe brought back from his journey to Silesia, and
- the collection of pages Ha

All of the aforementioned textual materials are characterized by an extremely provisional and process-oriented nature: they consist of layers of unstable drafts, notes, drawings, ambiguous arrangements, and complex drafts that are difficult to reconstruct. This materiality presents a particular challenge for editorial scholarship and requires, in addition to the reconstruction of the content, the development of targeted methodological and digital solutions.

The workshop serves as a forum for exchanging ideas on editorial strategies, digital modeling, and textual interpretation—not only within the context of the edition of the Venetian Epigrams, but also with regard to other digital edition projects dealing with complex authorial textual situations.

The event is open to all interested parties. Online participation via Webex: https://unistuttgart.webex.com/unistuttgart/j.php?MTID=m990b48a0611cb63a974b2651c5e83fff
