Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek (Dresden) Open Philology Project

In cooperation with the Open Greek and Latin Project of the Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig the SLUB scans books dating between 1922-1984. In particular, we are digitising editions that are in the public domain under European law. The EU allows its state members to assert copyright protection over scholarly editions for up to 30 years after publication. The argument has been made that an edition’s critical apparatus constitutes a separate work. In light of this debate and of all applicable copyright regulations, we have adopted the following strategy:

• Editions published after 1922 whose editor(s) died before or during 1943 are being digitised in full (reconstructed text and critical apparatus).
• Editions published after 1922 whose editor(s) died after 1943 are only partially digitised (reconstructed text only).
