http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/612357233

Copy made by Gertrude Frenzel-Koehler of Goethe's one-act play Die Geschwister, in a calligraphic hand. The main body of the text is in black ink, and Initials of characters' speeches are generally in either red or blue; 2 initials on the first page are more embellished in a combination of red and blue. On the page with the list of characters is a note stating that in 1776 Goethe himself played the character of Wilhelm. The manuscript comprises 3 folio-size gatherings (of 2, 4, and 2 bifolia, respectively) that are enclosed in a blank bifolium. A stub (between p. 12 and 13) remains where one leaf has been cut away.
