This website contains high-quality, "normalised", redrawn visuals that correspond to the hand-drawn, or occasionally also typed, graphics and figures from the manuscripts and typescripts in Ludwig Wittgenstein's ''Nachlass''.
This website contains high-quality, "normalised", redrawn visuals that correspond to the hand-drawn – or, occasionally, typed graphics and figures from the manuscripts and typescripts in Ludwig Wittgenstein's ''Nachlass''.


The visual items that were recreated are those that had already been included as redrawings (as opposed to encoded as XML and Unicode) by the WAB as of October 2022. In other words, the scope of the redrawn graphics has not changed since the early phase of the work to transcribe the ''Nachlass'', and the visuals that were initially encoded as XML and Unicode are still encoded in the same way.

The semantic descriptors are based on WAB’s taxonomy for Wittgenstein's graphics and musical, mathematical and logical notation. The taxonomy was authored by the WAB in cooperation with Michael R. Biggs (graphics and musical notation; see his catalogue in ''Minerva - An Internet Journal of Philosophy 2'' (1998)), Peter Philipp, Lawrence Goldstein and William T. Boos (mathematical and logical notation) and first published in the Bergen Electronic Edition.
