It's done – all fourteen volumes of Schelling's Sämmtliche Werke (Cotta, 1856–61) are now available on the Digitale Schelling-Edition: schellingedition.com/ Every one of the 7,881 pages has been checked against scans of the print. Compared with the previous version, about every 28th word has been corrected, the Greek is legible again, and every note is linked to its place in the text. Passages can be cited down to the printed line, the tables of contents follow the printed ones, the full-text search covers all volumes, and each volume can be downloaded as a TEI file. What's new in version 0.7, with before-and-after examples: schellingedition.com/neuigke… Thankful for all kind of feedback!

Gibt es "nur den einen Lessing", einen "sicheren Gutmenschen"? Der "achtzig Prozent seiner Lebensarbeitszeit mit Nebensächlichem vertan hat"? Vor 25 Jahren hielt Botho Strauß seine Rede zum Lessing-Preis voller provokanter Formulierungen: "Wir brauchen keine Aufklärung mehr."

craziest thing about history is how often your children would just die. and not that long ago. i'm reading a bio of Lincoln and it just slips that his kids kept dying tragically. today that's a life-defining event. did everyone just walk around with PTSD or what

Herder declared: it is from Greece that we have inherited the words drama, tragedy, comedy [...] its teachings have naturally been carried everywhere with it as its womb and its language.

Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu lesen. Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu schreiben. Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu denken; Kurzum, nicht immer zu studieren. Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu scherzen. Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu lieben. Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu trinken; Kurz, allezeit vergnügt zu leben. Verdenkt ihr mirs, ihr sauern Alten? Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu geizen; Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu lehren; Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu tadeln. Was ihr tut, ist des Alters Folge. Was ich tu, will die Jugend haben. Ich gönn euch eure Lust von Herzen. Wollt ihr mir nicht die meine gönnen? Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Sometimes you talk to a bunch of smart, interesting people and inadvertently realize the essay you planned is not going to work as the essay you will write. So I’m trying something out… maybe I do Hockney via Lessing?

For German names, 'Le' is typically transliterated as 'Lai' (莱), and 'sing' as 'Xin' (辛). So 'Lessing' phonetically becomes 'Lai-Xin' (莱辛).

Am 26. Juni 1939 lässt die Stadtverwaltung Wien aus "ideologischen Gründen" (wie die Pariser Tageszeitung berichtet) das #Lessing-Denkmal vom Judenplatz entfernen. "Die Nazis können ihm bekanntlich den 'Nathan den Weisen' nicht verzeihen."
