Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
But if one has come to this idea of Christ through the true contemplation of humanity and knows: If you want to discover the Christ, you best discover him in yourself - and if one then goes back to the biblical documents, then the Bible regains its great value for such a person. And there is no greater, but also more conscious appreciator of the Bible than a person who has found this. But that is also what we see in it.
