Elfride Petri Heidegger: relentless “custodian” of Heidegger's thought. An examination of several unpublished documents

Summary/Abstract: From research conducted at Herman-Leo Van Breda's legacy and Heidegger's two private libraries in Freiburg-Zahringen, as well as from direct acquaintance with the philosopher's descendants, I have been able to reconstruct, through a number of unpublished documents, some essential traits of Mrs. Elfride Petri Heidegger. A decisive figure who was able to initiate Heidegger's Gesamtausgabe and to preserve with determination her husband's thought over time.
