The paper is divided into two parts: Introduction and transcription of 29 unpublished documents held in the Richard-Wagner-Archiv in Bayreuth. In the Introduction the author expounds briefly the subject of each document, classifying them in categories, so that the reader can easily find the document he is interested in.
All the documents refer to Liszt’s biography, with news on different moments of his life. The most interesting are the four letters to Countess Marie Moukhanoff–Kalergis, written during the period of Cosima’s divorce from Hans von Bülow and her ensuing union with Wagner.
The edition of the documents is enriched by many footnotes which help in contextualising the related facts.
Key Words: Franz Liszt’s unpublished documents, Richard-Wagner-Archiv, Bayreuth.
