| Summary: | The Stoffe-project is a text-genetic hybrid edition that digitally processes and presents the works of the Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990). The estate is part of the founding inventory of the Swiss Literary Archives (SLA), where it has been indexed since 1991, one year after Dürrenmatt’s death, and initially digitally processed in a preliminary version. This served as the scientific basis for the five-volume print edition that was published in May 2021. Editors are Rudolf Probst and Ulrich Weber. The sophisticated new edition is linked to a digital edition in which Dürrenmatt’s autobiographical works can be explored. In the three sections “Text”, “Genesis”, and “Archive”, the online edition offers, on the one hand, the text of the selection edition in digital form, and, on the other hand, text-genetic tools for orientation, as well as the entire manuscript material in the scope of about 30,000 leaves in the form of facsimiles. Thus, Dürrenmatt’s most important work complex of the late oeuvre can be experienced as a process in all its dynamics and complexity. Although Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s complex of materials is made accessible in digital form, it does not meet common best practices of digital scholarly editions which in turn has a negative impact on its compliance with the FAIR principles.
