Footnotes

1 An edition of Goethe's Faust, made by Georg Witkowski, published in 1906. From other diary entries that mention Witkowski (see especially July 4 and 6), it is likely that Schenker started with the editor's introduction.

2 "mit verteilten Büchern gelesen": the usual expression is "mit verteilten Rollen" (with divided roles); Heinrich and Jeanette are taking different parts in different editions of Goethe's play.
