After Nietzsche's mental breakdown in 1889, this manuscript was in the hands of Heinrich Köselitz ("Peter Gast"), then kept by Nietzsche's family / the "Nietzsche-Archiv" in Weimar led by Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. The book was not published until 1908.

Two changings in the text not done by Nietzsche are visible:

1. The addition (Aphorismus 341) (top right) is from Köselitz.
2. The last line would originally say: [erstaunliche Ins]piration einer jungen Russin, mit der ich damals befreundet war, des Fräulein Lou von Salomé. ( amazing inspiration of a young Russian woman who was my friend at that time, Miss Lou von Salomé. )

The letter "s" has been added to "Fräulein" by Köselitz (a minor grammatical correction). Obviously someone has crossed out first the words mit der ich damals befreundet war ( who was my friend at that time ) and von , then also the remaining words after junge Russin ( young Russian woman ). The simple replacement "Lou von Salomé" underneath the line is by Köselitz.

This is how the Nietzsche-Archiv sent the manuscript to the independent publisher Raoul Richter in 1908. Richter, however, did not take this serious and had the full line printed (like all following editions).
