Notes

In his essay “Über philologische Erkenntnis,” Szondi writes: “Dem philologischen Wissen ist ein dynamisches Moment eigen, nicht bloß weil es sich, wie jedes andere Wissen, durch neue Gesichtspunkte und neue Erkenntnisse ständig verändert, sondern weil es nur in der fortwährenden Konfrontation mit dem Text bestehen kann.” Hölderlin-Studien: Mit einem Traktat über philologische Erkenntnis (Frankfurt am Main: Insel, 1967), 11.

See Martin Heidegger, Erläuterungen zu Hölderlins Dichtung (Frankfurt am Main: Klostermann, 1971), 42–48.

And in highlighting the poetic possibilities Baumgarten prepared, Trop also contributes to the ongoing critical reevaluation of Baumgarten's significance for the eighteenth century by scholars such as David E. Wellbery and, more recently, Rüdiger Campe, Anselm Haverkamp, and Christoph Menke.
