Abstract
In this paper I introduce modular symbols for Maass wave cusp forms. They appear in the guise of finitely additive functions on the Boolean algebra generated by intervals with non--positive rational ends, with values in analytic functions (pseudo--measures in the sense of [MaMar2]). After explaining the basic issues and analogies in the extended Introduction, I construct modular symbols in the sec. 1 and the related L\'evy--Mellin transforms in the sec. 2. The whole paper is an extended footnote to the Lewis--Zagier fundamental study [LZ2].
