Abstract
This article endeavors to bridge the gap between ›material‹ text philology, interested in manuscripts, and empirical writing research. Since terminology suitable for describing writing processes (in contrast to the description of the genesis of texts) is missing altogether in the current state of the art, the author aims at an empirically ›informed‹, but philologically embedded model of writing. This model in turn is implemented in order to delineate writing strategies Jean Paul could plausibly have utilized for his literary production. In this context the autograph of the third preface to the novel Hesperus is presented here for the first time. That argument is framed by general remarks on the ›going science‹-program in the philologies (first section) and on Jean Paul's intimate enemy in Weimar, who nevertheless serves as a paradigm for writing authorship (final section).
