First Reading:
the work and its witness.
Begin with a book that is actually published. Follow one source-entry relation, then distinguish what the reader observes from what the edition declares.
The original is still addressable.
Within the published edition, Anweisung an den Schmerz retains a link back to its source-labelled entry. The reading is not presented as an untraceable new text.

Source ownership and other provenance evidence require examination at the original domain or its owning repository. The presence of a source link does not itself establish a complete rights audit.
The edition is an encounter.
The live First Reading — Solstice site gives the selection a cover, an ordered book, navigation and an actual reader. Its own cover identifies thirty works and forty-one original images. Those are edition declarations, not statistics generated by this documentation site.
