Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) is said to be the last polymath. This is reflected by his diverse and mostly unpublished work. Until today, there is no complete edition which forced researchers to rely on deficient partial editions from the 19th century. The project aims at a complete edition of G. W. Leibniz’ writings and of his letters. The handwritten literary remains are to a large...

The Sachsenspiegel, written around 1225 by Eike von Repchow, is the most important and perhaps also the oldest comprehensive German legal book.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was one of the most important and most influencial philosophers of western intellectual history. Nowadays, his works are seen as fundamental for the self-conception of modern thinking. His worldwide influence on philosophy, literature, anthropology, psychology, and criticism of religion and culture can scarcely be overestimated. With that in mind, it is surprising...
