Marginalia to Being and Time - Religious Studies at Stanford ...

1. PAGE AND LINE REFERENCES:
Four page references. The four numbers (in this example: 15.36-37, 15.33-36, and
36.30-31, 14.5-8) indicate the page and line/s in Heidegger’s text to which Husserl’s comments
and notations refer. The four numbers, moving from left to right, indicate respectively:
< the German text of SZ in the relatively inaccessible first edition that Husserl used and
marked up (the 1927 Sonderdruck, hereinafter abbreviated as SZ-1);
< the German text of SZ in the readily available fifteenth edition (1979; hereinafter
abbreviated as SZ-15); 4
< the English translation by Macquarrie and Robinson (1962, hereinafter abbreviated as BT-
1);
< the English translation by Stambaugh (1996, hereinafter abbreviated as SZ-15).
The lines that are referenced. Note that the page-and-line numbers refer to the specific
words or lines in SZ that Husserl comments on (with the surrounding text), not to the space taken
up in the margin by Husserl’s remark. The reader is forewarned that the relation between
Husserl’s marginal notes and Heidegger’s own text is not always clear and that the connections
made in this text (and in other editions) are sometimes a matter of guesswork. Whereas
consultation of the original book and marginalia is imperative in adjudicating such matters, such
consultation may not resolve all questions.
Counting the lines: The counting of the lines on the pages, both in the German editions
of SZ and in BT, follows these rules:
< The line-count does not include the “header” either in SZ or BT, that is, the line at the top
of the page containing the page number, the name of the author, the title of the book, and
the like. 5 The count begins, rather, with the first line of text on the page after the
“header.”
< The line-count does account for any footnote material at the bottom of the page.
< The count also includes the line or lines on which appear any division-, chapter-, or
section-titles, including single lines with only numbers on them. (An example of the latter
is BT-1, p. 67: The Roman numeral “I” at the top of the page is calculated as falling on
line one, that is: 67.1.)
< Empty lines are not counted.
4 The pagination of SZ-1 accords generally with that of SZ-15. The two differ by no more than
(and usually less than) five lines. The exception: SZ-1 p. 438.8 = the last line of SZ-15 p. 437.
5 BT-1, BT-2, and SZ-1 have such a “header,” but SZ-15 does not.
