Leo Strauss's introductions to the works of Moses Mendelssohn are crucial for an understanding of the development of his thought. This splendid translation makes these works available for the first time to English-speaking readers. At last we will be able to appreciate Strauss's engagement with this central figure of the German Enlightenment. Bravo! (Steven B. Smith, Yale University)
