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.
The next picture I will show you shows a different view of the same motif. Here you see Lucifer looking over and this being taken from the side above. You see at the same time how peculiar it is, this being here, you see it photographed from the left; and it is interesting to see how the expression is now different through this asymmetry than before in the other view. The asymmetry makes it clear that the form [illegible word] is transformed into gestures, that is the artistic idea of this group. [Gap in the shorthand]
