Basis for the Texts.

 

The lectures were taken down in shorthand by the professional stenographer Helene Finckh, who since 1916 took down the lectures at the behest of Rudolf Steiner and transferred them into longhand, upon which the print is based. The original shorthand versions still exist and were consulted for single unclear passages.
