ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations and Citations of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Works
The same citation format is utilized throughout the journal. References to Nietzsche’s texts are given in the body of the articles and reviews. References to Nietzsche’s unpublished writings are standardized, whenever possible, to refer to the most accessible print editions of Nietzsche’s notebooks and publications: Kritische Studienausgabe (KSA), compiled under the general editorship of Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari and based on the complete edition of the Kritische Gesamtausgabe (KGW)(Berlin and New York: Walter de Gruyter, 1967ff). References to the print editions of letters published by de Gruyter are cited as KSB (Sämtliche Briefe: Kritische Studienausgabe) or KGB (Briefe: Kritische Gesamtausgabe). References to Nietzsche’s juvenilia appear in Historisch-Kritische Gesammtsausgabe, edited by Hans Joachim Mette and Karl Schlechta, 9 vols. (Munich: C.H. Beck’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1934-40), which is standardly abbreviated BAW.
In references to Nietzsche’s works, Roman numerals generally denote the volume number of a set of collected works or standard subdivision within a single work, and Arabic numerals denote the relevant section number. In cases in which Nietzsche’s prefaces are cited, the letter P is used followed by the relevant section number, where applicable. When a section is too long for the section number alone to be useful, the page number of the relevant translation is also provided. In the cases in which the KGW and KSA are cited, references provide the volume number (and part for KGW) followed by the relevant fragment number and any relevant aphorism (e.g., KSA 10:12[1].37, p. 1 refers to volume 10, fragment 12[1], aphorism 37, page 1).
