Comprised of annotations in five languages on 85 books, this edition of Coleridge's Marginaliabrings together over 8,000 notes, many never before printed, varying from a single word to substantial essays. In alphabetical order, the notes are presented literatim from the original manuscripts whenever the annotated volumes can be found. Each note is preceded by the passage of the original text that appears to have provoked Coleridge's comments. Texts in foreign languages are followed by translations.
