“In the current Easter book fair there will appear a book of mine, entitled Critique of Pure Reason…This book contains the result of all the varied investigations that start from the concepts we debated together under the heading mundi sensibilis & mundi intelligibilis.”—so begins Kant’s letter to Marcus Herz of 5/1/1781 (Ak.10:266).
Kant’s own copy of it was housed at the Staats-& Universitätsbibliothek Königsberg, until lost in 1945. Fortunately his marginalia had already been printed at Ak.23:17-50, as well as in Erdmann [1881]; they’re also included in the Guyer/Wood translation.
