In the Clatter of the Typewriter – How Steiner's Lectures Were Preserved
Description
A contribution by Peter Selg
Peter Selg pays tribute to Helene Finckh (1883–1960), Rudolf Steiner's brilliant stenographer. She recorded some one third of his lecture œuvre – around 1,700 lectures – verbatim, transferred them into fair copies and thereby preserved spiritually central content. The lecture describes her path from Stuttgart to the Goetheanum, marked by losses and quiet devotion, and shows how her work gives lasting form to Steiner's spoken word.
A contribution by Peter Selg for the ceremony marking the completion of the Rudolf Steiner Collected Works.
