No 14, 1997. Alois Pichler: Wittgensteins Philosophische Untersuchungen: Zur Textgenese von PU §1-4. Pichler's investigation of the textual genesis of the first four sections of the Philosophische Untersuchungen consists of two parts. The first (pp. 9-35) describes the various versions of the work as a whole («early version», «intermediate version» etc.) in the context of the Nachlaß. It presents the accompanying forewords and distinguishes five phases in the genesis of the Untersuchungen (1929-44; revisions in hand up to 1950). The second part (pp. 36-99) discusses the versions of the four sections as they developed in Wittgenstein's manuscripts, typescripts and dictations (1931-50: von Wright's catalogue numbers 111, 114, 115, 140, 141, 142, 152; 211, 212, 213, 220, 239, 226, 227; 310, 311). The development is presented graphically in two appendices; in a further appendix Pichler attempts a critical reading of the four sections. German. 135 pages. ISBN 82-91071-17-9. Price: NOK 100 (+ porto). Electronic pdf-version
No 13, 1996. Peter Philipp: Bibliographie zur Wittgenstein-Literatur. Überarbeitet, ergänzt und herausgegeben von Frank Kannetzky und Richard Raatzsch. Peter Philipp's «Bibliographie zur Wittgenstein-Literatur», completed and posthumously edited by Frank Kannetzky and Richard Raatzsch, is one of the most comprehensive Wittgenstein bibliographies available. It improves on earlier bibliographies in several respects. For example, it lists not only literature that deals directly with Wittgenstein, and here as well from the Eastern European Countries, but partly also dissertations, newspaper articles and literature that influenced Wittgenstein's writings. The bibliography is alphabetically arranged and includes entries from 1899 to 1996. German. Approx. 500 pages. ISBN 82-91071-16-0. Price: NOK 100 (+ porto). Electronic pdf-version

No 8, 1994. Alois Pichler: Untersuchungen zu Wittgensteins Nachlass. This monograph consists of a general introduction to Wittgenstein's Nachlaß, describes its structures, and in the light of this, points to problems with which the Nachlaß confronts the research scholar. (Part 1). This is followed by specific research about aspects of the Nachlaß and Wittgenstein's method of working: the production of notebooks, fair copies, typescripts and typescript cuttings; the marking of text with revision signs; the use of indentation; the use of alternatives. Particular attention is paid here to the genesis of manuscripts and typescripts from 1929-1933. (Part 2). Appendices include empirical evidence for the theses put forward in Part 2 and a chronologically ordered synopsis of the Nachlaß which lists the date, the location of origin and where applicable the place of publication of all Nachlaß items. The monograph concludes with a bibliography of Wittgenstein's works. This is a revision of the bibliography published in the Working Papers no. 7, by Michael Biggs and Alois Pichler.

The catalogues are supplemented by an extensive bibliography of Wittgenstein's published work which lists editions both with and without a source in Wittgenstein's Nachlaß.
