Record: stenogram (shorthand transcript). Shorthand transcript taken during the lecture — the strongest kind of lecture record in this corpus. Evidence: «Das Stenogramm wurde neu übertragen» (The shorthand transcript was transcribed anew). The publisher's description of the 2019 edition, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 279).

And such a mood of soul is that of Devotion.
