Description

A contribution by Nana Badenberg on the ceremony marking the completion of the Rudolf Steiner Collected Works

Without Helene Finckh, Rudolf Steiner’s lecture corpus would hardly be accessible today in the form in which it has been handed down. As his most important stenographer, she took down some 1,700 lectures and transcribed them promptly and with great care – often in that small workroom at the Goetheanum where the clatter of her typewriter became the sign of untiring work.
