Editor's notes: These lectures were originally issued privately and did not receive full publication in book format till the reissue of Weiser's edition in 1975. Since then many of them have been printed by small publishers in a handy pamphlet format. Several sites have now published the whole series of 10 lectures on the internet:

All of these are, needless to say, useless as they base their scans on the Weiser edition and therefore contain errors. The purpose of publishing these lectures has been to update them in accordance with the presentation of the rest of the Masseian corpus published here. I am in the process of cross-referencing the data to the rest of the corpus, as well as providing full references which would have otherwise been absent in any of the publications.
