Dear all,
As some of you will know, the Huygens Institute and the Van Gogh Museum
have been working for fifteen years now on a new edition of all extant
letters from and to Vincent van Gogh. Yesterday the result was published,
both on paper and on the web. The scholarly web edition is freely
accessible at http://www.vangoghletters.org. For each of the 902 letters
the site gives a transcription of the original Dutch or French, a
translation into English, a full (zoomable) facsimile, comprehensive
annotation and illustrations (about 2000 in all) of the works of art
discussed in the letters. The editorial procedures are explained under
‘About this edition’ (http://www.vangoghletters.org/vg/about_1.html).
Information about the book edition is available on
http://www.vangoghletters.org/vg/bookedition.html.
We hope you enjoy the edition.
Best regards,
Peter Boot
