Faust
Subtitle: Ein Trauerspiel
By: von Goethe
Publisher: bei Georg Joachim Göschen
Published: 1815
Place of publication: Leipzig
Language: ger
Number of pages: 168
Notes: These are sheets of this work from the 2d setting of v. 7 of Goethe's Schriften, 1790, printed by Göschen on holland for a proposed de luxe edition that remained incomplete; the sheets include signature titles "Goethe's W. 7. B." According to Ernst Schulte Strathaus, Goethes Faust-Fragment 1790 (Zürich, 1940), this title-page, on ordinary paper, was printed up sometime between 1810 & 1820; the date 1787 appears to be a simple typographical error for 1790, in which year sheets of this work from the ordinary paper issue of both settings of v. 7 of the Schriften were separately issued with t.-p. reading "Faust. Ein Fragment."--cf. Hagen 204b.
