The German PDF facsimile versions come from Google Books and other public domain sources. The HTML versions come from the Deutsches Textarchiv, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften which have been put online under a Creative Commons License. <http://www.deutschestextarchiv.de>. These HTML versions have been difficult to edit as they have been "over coded" in my view in order to try to replicate the original page layout of the books. I have done my best to simplify them and make them easier to read and search.
