English will appear both in the German original and in English translation. In addition the editors hope to publish material from G6del's Nachlass, possibly in a second volume. By way of introduction, the edition will include a biography of G$del together with a survey of his work and its significance. Each article or group of articles will be prefaced with a historical note. It is the aim of the editors to render this edition of the greatest possible scientific, philosophical, and historical interest. The editors wish to print a selection of &dells correspondence, very little of which has previously been published, and would appreciate greatly hearing from anyone who possesses or knows of such correspondence. AI-IY information regarding photographs of Gadel would also be most welcome. Communications should be sent to Solomon Feferman, Department of Mathematics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305.
