"The extant manuscripts of 1844 consist of two notebooks (the first
and third manuscripts), one single double-folio sheet that was
sewn into the centre of the third manuscript (the fourth manuscript),
and two separate pages, carrying a continuous text (the second
manuscript)."

Introduction
...This site offers the user a web
based facsimile of the original design of Karl Marx's 1844 Manuscripts,
which is well known for having a unique physical layout. It is the only place where these features
can be grasped other than by looking at Marx's actual MS. Of course,
the bare text is available elsewhere, but separated from this design.
Here, we use hyperlinks to follow Marx's pagination, and tables
for the columns on Marx's 'landscape' orientated pages. If you want
to go straight to Marx's 'cover' page try: epmht_00.htm.
You can use the 'transport' above to move between pages (see navigation
link).
Text based hyperlinks here are not necessarily denoted by
colour and the user may need to make sure that links are underlined
or 'hovered' in their browser. This website is continually being
improved, however, any suggestions/criticism would be welcome as
would donations towards upkeep (the resource is free, and exists
independent of any academic or other institutions.
...Fay (see link) divides the first
manuscript into a 'core notebook', mainly of three column format
dealing with economics, and 'outer sheets'. In this respect the
core of the first manuscript is similar to the fourth MS, as it
is different to what surrounds it, i.e. the third MS text.
It may be advisable to read the texts in the previous column
before negotiating this hypertext version of the Manuscripts.
At the end of her essay Fay provides a do-it-yourself recipe
for a paper based model of Marx's first 1844 Manuscripts and this
can be used in correspondence with this website. An idea of the
physical design (layout and pagination) of the EPM seems indispensable
to a genuine understanding of its themes, so you may want to take
the following link that shows how it is possible to obtain a print
from this website.
