Research Abstract	1) Transcription of Wittgenstin's Manuscripts and Typescripts up to "Philosophical Grammar" into Machine-Readble Texts Owing to the limited time and budget, the transcription of the part of TS 213, published as the second part of PG,had to be postponed. MS 140 has been processed and will be opened through Wittgenstein Archives Bergen to the public. The first layr of the remaining TS 213 (TS 2130) is now usable as hard-copy level text. 2) Relations of Manuscripts of the Middle Wittgenstein Through the perusal and cross-reference of TS 213, MS 114, MS 115, MS 116 and MS 140, the process of the editing PG was scrutinized and its appropriateness was estimated. Moreover, some important insighs into Wittgenstein's style of thinking was gained.
