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: «Grundlage sind Aufzeichnungen, die jeweils nach der Stunde angefertigt wurden.» (The basis is records written down after each lesson.). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 91). The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
On Saturn, man does not yet have an etheric body; it develops only on the Sun, it is there in the first elemental kingdom, it is the same radiating entity. On the Moon the etheric body is in the second elementary kingdom, on the Earth it is in the third elementary kingdom.
