Abstract

The edition of Leibniz's mathematical writings is a monumental task: 10,000 manuscript pages will fill 30 volumes (out of 130 planned for his complete works). At his death (1716), only 1 book and ∼100 journal articles were published. 19th century editions by Gerhardt (1849-1863) greatly increased availability. In the 20th century, Eberhard Knobloch spearheaded the Academy Edition (Series VII), publishing 4 volumes (1990-2008) with 90% unpublished texts. Volumes 1-7 cover Leibniz's Paris years (1672-1676). Future plans: 22 more volumes in 30 years, requiring 2 to 8 editors. Collaborations (ERC Philiumm) already yield online pre-editions and translations, boosting worldwide Leibniz research.¹

莱布尼茨的数学著作的版本：过去，现在和未来

莱布尼茨的数学著作的版本是一项艰巨的任务：10,000页手稿将填满30卷（他的全部作品计划有130卷）。到他去世时（1716年），只出版了1本书和约100篇期刊文章。19世纪格哈特（1849-1863）的版本大大增加了可用性。在20世纪，Eberhard Knobloch率先推出了学院版（系列VII），出版了4卷（1990-2008），其中90%的文本未发表。卷1-7涵盖莱布尼茨的巴黎年（1672-1676）。未来计划：30年内再增加22卷，需要2 - 8位编辑。合作（ERC Philiumm）已经产生了在线预版本和翻译，促进了全球莱布尼茨的研究

期刊介绍： Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
