- This edition of an unknown chapter of Blumenberg?s Arbeit am Mythos (1979), the most important German book on myth since WWII, arose from eighteen months of archival research. Discovery of a reference to the chapter in unpublished correspondence triggered the painstaking search through an archive containing over 3,000 manuscripts. Detailed cross-checking of the manuscript with a collection of 30,000 index cards was undertaken to ensure authenticity. Publication involved standardising the German, discovering and preparing for publication the related correspondence and one smaller text, and co-writing a 70-page critical apparatus that illuminates the manuscript?s relation to theological, philosophical and political discourses.
