[Saved from oblivion. Comments on the English edition of Isidor Sadger's "Recollecting Freud"].

The fact that Isidor Sadger, Freud's self-proclaimed earliest pupil, had written and published his recollections of Freud, has been known for many years. But it had proved impossible to locate a copy of Sadger's book. Now an English version has appeared (to be followed soon by the German original). This paper, based on archival sources, tells the dramatic story of Sadger's book, discusses its strengths and weaknesses and assesses the scholarship and translation of the English edition.
