The Bernard Bolzano-Gesamtausgabe (BBGA) is divided into 6 Series:

E: Einleitungsband

1: Schriften

2A: Nachla: Schriften

2B: Nachla: Wissenschaftliche Tagebcher

3: Briefwechsel

4: Dokumente

The Series are divided into Volumes, and some of the latter are further divided into parts. Accordingly, we give citations of the forms:

w.x/y, p. z

w.x, p. z

where w indicates the Series, x the Volume, y the Part (when applicable), and z the page number. For example:

BBGA 1.6/1, p. 25

refers to Series 1, Volume 6 (part 1), page 25; and

BBGA 1.18, p. 35

to Series 1, Volume 18 (which is not subdivided), page 35.

Generally speaking, we cite original editions (which are often available online), followed by the Gesamtausgabe, and English translation (the last two when available). Here, for example, is a typical reference:

RW, I, 14, no. 7 [BBGA 1.6/1, pp. 778; EP, p. 177].

There is one exception to this practice: in the case of the Wissenschaftslehre (WL), we simply cite the section numbers and, where appropriate, the volume and page numbers of the first (1837) edition, e.g., WL, 148 [II.83]. We do this because the pagination of the first edition is given in the margins of both the BBGA edition and the complete English translation.

Finally, for Kants works, we usually cite the Academy edition:

AkKants gesammelte Schriften, herausgegeben von der Kniglich Preuischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Berlin and Leipzig, 1900.

We also use the standard abbreviations (A, B) to designate the first and second editions of the Critique of Pure Reason.
