Goethe überliefert der Nachwelt die Ansicht, man habe sein Werk „Zur Farbenlehre“ (1810) vor allem angefeindet, nur ausnahmsweise günstig aufgenommen, und es sei bald aus der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung verschwunden. Soweit das auch im Allgemeinen zutreffen mag – Berlin bildet eine Ausnahme. Hier förderte Altenstein mit dem ihm unterstellten Kultusministerium Maßnahmen zur Vertiefung und Verbreitung von Aspekten der „Farbenlehre“, indem er Wissenschaftler und Künstler unterstützte, die sich bereits um die „Farbenlehre“ verdient gemacht hatten oder Willens waren, sich Themen aus dem Bereich der „Farbenlehre“ zu widmen.

This collection consists of 26 mythological poems in Spanish dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, written by the most representative authors of the period (Lope de Vega, Luis de Góngora, Jáuregui, Villamediana, etc.).

The corpus was compiled as part of the project "The Beginnings of Modern Poetry," which uses digital methods to study German-language literature from about 1850 to 1920. It consists of texts in German-language poetry anthologies published in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The selected anthologies focus on poetry that was contemporary at the time, and, in the case of the anthologies published around 1900, on poems that the anthologists considered "modern". In total, the corpus consists of more than 20 anthologies containing more than 6000 poems.
The TextGrid Repository
The TextGrid Repository is a long-term archive for humanities research data. It provides an extensive, searchable, and reusable repository of texts and images. Aligned with the principles of Open Access and FAIR, the TextGrid Repository was awarded the CoreTrustSeal in 2020. For researchers, the TextGrid Repository offers a sustainable, durable, and secure way to publish their research data in a citable manner and to describe it in an understandable way through required metadata. Read more about sustainability, FAIR and Open Access in the Mission Statement of the TextGrid Repository.
The vast majority of the texts are XML/TEI encoded in addition to the plain text format, allowing for diverse reuse. The repository was established with the acquisition of the Digital Library and is continually evolving based on the TextGrid Community. Through numerous edition projects, which are created in the virtual research environment of the TextGrid Laboratory, manuscripts (images) as well as transcriptions (XML/TEI encoded text data) are available (such as the the Library of Neology or the project on German-French travel correspondence ARCHITRAVE).
Accordingly, the content is partly project-specific and is growing over time. The basis is an extensive corpus of world literature from the beginning of the history of printed books to the 20th century, consisting of texts by around 600 authors: the TextGrid Digital Library contains world literature written or translated in German. Nevertheless, the TextGrid Repository has no language restriction and foreign language texts are published here depending on the project context.
In addition to the advanced search, the content of the TextGrid Repository is also explorable by filtering by author, by genre, by file type, and by project.
All published content is open-access, and should be referenced as usual according to the citation suggestion provided in each case. The TextGrid Repository offers the possibility to compile individual collections via the shelf function. These can be downloaded collectively in XML or TXT formats or examined directly with a range of digital tools.
