Dear all,

Some of you may be interested in the new digital edition of all extant
letters from and to Vincent van Gogh that we launched yesterday,
available free of charge at http://www.vangoghletters.org. The
edition,
based on fifteen years of research, was edited by Leo Jansen, Hans
Luijten and Nienke Bakker of the Van Gogh Museum, in association with
the Huygens Institute.
For each of the 902 letters the edition gives a transcription of the
original Dutch or French text, a translation into English, a full
(zoomable) facsimile, comprehensive annotation, and illustrations (about
2000 in all) of the works of art discussed in the letters. Editorial
procedures are explained under 'About this edition'
(http://www.vangoghletters.org/vg/about_1.html). An accompanying
six-volume book edition is published in three languages (Dutch, French
and English). More information about the books is available at
http://www.vangoghletters.org/vg/bookedition.html

We hope you enjoy the edition.
