the Preface was finished 30 September 1888 (in Sils-Maria, Upper Engadine,

publisher in September 9, 1888; and it was published in January 24, 1889; 1000
copies were made at that time. Second printing of 1000 copies made in May of
1893 (See William H. Schaberg for details). The working title was The Idleness of a Psychologist (Müssiggang
eines Psychologen). But very late, while the book was being printed
Nietzsche actually changed the title after getting a rousing letter from Peter Gast
(his amanuensis), in September
20, 1888 (‘inspire terror all around’ and the text needs a ‘more radiant
title”). The last two sections were added while the process of printing: What's
Germans lacking (September 18, 1888) and Wandering of untimely ones (October 4,
1888). Nietzsche saw the first printing of four copies on November 24,
1888.
