Synopsis:
Moses Mendelssohn, one of the most celebrated figures of the German Enlightenment, is best known for the far-reaching influence he had on the Jewish community throughout the world. Drawing widely on personal letters and documents, including a substantial amount of material previously unavailable in any language, this definitive biography casts new light on this great rationalist and champion of intellectual liberty.
About the Author: Alexander Altmann (1906-87) was born in Hungary and educated at the Rabbinical Seminary, Berlin, and at the University of Berlin. In 1938 he left Germany for Manchester, England, where he was appointed communal rabbi. While in Manchester he founded the Institute of Jewish Studies that later moved to University College, London. In 1959 he was appointed Professor of Jewish Philosophy at Brandeis University, Massachusetts, and Director of its Lown Institute of Advanced Judaic Studies.
