Complete works

A Complete Works published edition of a text corpus is normally accompanied with additional information and critical apparatus.

It may include notes, introduction, a biographical sketch, and may pay attention to textual variants.

Similarly, the term body of work may be used to describe the entirety of the creative or academic output produced by a particular individual or unit.

[2] The Latin language equivalent Opera Omnia is still used in English, for example, to refer to the works of Galen or Leonhard Euler.

[3][4] German usage distinguishes de:Gesamtwerk as a complete corpus, de:Gesamtausgabe for a published edition of the works, and Gesammelte Werke or collected works that may be selective in some way.
