Notes
Orig.-Ausg. ersch. bei Artists Press, Bern, 1980. - "The original title "wit" was translated into English and Japanese and into Sanskrit with a word that means "white" in the sense of bright, pure, immaculate. The titel itself does not appear on the book, which remains completely blank. It is printed with the paratext on a broad strip of paper in the form of a detachable publicity strip. The inside flap contains a brief statement initially dating back to the 1962 ed., stating that this book incorporates all aspects of reality. ... It is this last edition, the most radical, which is republished here, the only addition being the french translation of the statement.".
