Arranged in three groups: I. Vocal scores (3 in 4 vols.). II. Vocal parts (22). III. Promptbooks (3).

The vocal scores include a French edition published by Heugel (Paris, 1835-1850?), a German/French edition by B. Schott (Mainz, 184-?), and an English manuscript version in two volumes (Acts II-III) bearing the stamp of T. Goodwin, New York (1835-1850?). All of the vocal parts are handwritten in German; some are bound in blue folders, and many bear the stamp "Theater Direction L. F. Witt zu Kiel." Two of the German promtbooks are based on published librettos (B. Schott, 1833; the other is probably also by Schott, although the t.p. is lacking) and the third is manuscript.
