Scope and Contents

The English translation of the German word, 'Rechtschreibung' is 'spelling.' Gerz has deliberately misspelled the word as 'Rechtsschreibung,' i.e., with an extra 's.' This might be a pun on the word, 'Rechtsbeugung,' a closely related word which means perversion (misspelling?) of the course of justice. The typed page but not the altered negative is designated No.485 in Gerz's Catalogue Raisonne Volume III. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
