Ecce Homo is written in 1888 as a public self-file; the 1908 print is later and is not this instrument
The 1888 Ecce Homo manuscript is a lifetime self-file. Friedrich Nietzsche’s documented role is: He composed the self-review manuscript in late 1888. In the causal graph this event weakens the driver Personal-Data Protection.
Read the full account
The 1888 Ecce Homo manuscript is a lifetime self-file. Friedrich Nietzsche’s documented role is: He composed the self-review manuscript in late 1888. He did not typeset the 1908 book. This stores the writing, not Elisabeth’s later issue. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Friedrich Nietzsche's documented role is: He composed the self-review manuscript in late 1888. He did not typeset the 1908 book.
Context
Turin, last writing months before the January 1889 collapse. Printers and the later 1908 issue remain later. Named others on the file: Later editors as carriers of 1908; he is the 1888 author of the manuscript. The public setting is the file around 1888-12-01. Driver personal-data-protection is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
Naming Friedrich Nietzsche does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1888-12-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
Why it matters
Self-file opacity. Welfare reading worsening. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

What the sources establish
eKGWB and SEP life-works independently place composition in late 1888 and publication later. Official: Nietzsche Source — Digital Critical Edition (eKGWB) (https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb (opens in a new tab); Nietzsche Source / Paolo D’Iorio). Independent: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy — Nietzsche’s Life and Works (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche-life-works/ (opens in a new tab); Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph.
