A Note from the Translator. . .

Since the original text is extensively footnoted and some of the notes refer to other pages in the book, I have indicated the page numbers from the original text with small red page numbers, so that you can quickly locate other sections of the text to which the author refers. All footnote numerals are hyper-linked to a footnote section and each note has a link back to the page where reference is made to it. Clarifications or comments of the translator will always be placed between square -- [ and ] -- brackets.

In the original text, the author highlights the names of the important characters and emphasizes important features of the the case and/or documents by using a German form of emphasis : the insertion of spaces between the letters of a word. I've chosen to bolden these names for ease in reading, and so that a quick scan of the text while scrolling through it should be sufficient for you to find any references you may be seeking.
