Briefwechsel 1806-1807: (Briefe 2173-2597)

The present volume contains Schleiermacher’s correspondence from April 1806 up to the end of 1807, the date of his final move to Berlin. Of the total of 425 letters in this volume, 240 are addressed to Schleiermacher and 185 are written by him. The content of 127 of the letters documented here could only be deduced (43 to Schleiermacher and 84 from him) since no text has been handed down. From the remainder of the letters, only 80 were printed as complete text (of these 28 to and 52 from Schleiermacher). 41 of the collected letters were previously only published in an abridged form (of these 30 addressed to Schleiermacher and 11 written by Schleiermacher); they are presented here in their complete form for the first time. 177 letters (139 to Schleiermacher and 38 from him) are published here in this volume of the critical edition (V/9) for the first time.
