Below is a link to a pdf file containing my very rough translation of selected sections of Max Planck's 1906 Lectures on Thermal radiation (Vorlesungen über die Theorie der Wärmestrahlung (Leipzig: Barth, 1906)), prepared in connection with my article "Planck, the Quantum, and the Historians," Physics in Perspective 4 (2002), 170-215. PDF Unlike the second edition of 1913, which is widely available in translation, the first edition of 1906 was never translated into English.
The Adobe Acrobat reader, or some similar pdf viewer such as Ghostview or GSView, will be needed to read this file.
