To mark Moses Mendelssohn‘s two hundredth birthday, in 1929 the »Akademie für die Wissenschaft des Judentums« (Academy for the Science of Judaism) and the »Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums« (Society for the Promotion of the Science of Judaism) began work on the edition of his ›Gesammelten Schriften‹, (Collected Works), a complete critical edition of his writings and correspondence. After being able to publish one volume in 1938, those editors and other staff members who were still in Germany emigrated during that year and the year after. Since 1971, frommann-holzboog has been going forward with this previously unfinished edition. The volumes document Mendelssohn’s enormous charisma which affected almost all of the intellectual literary fields of the 18th century and the ideas of famous contemporaries such as Goethe, Herder, Kant, Lessing, Lichtenberg, Moritz and Schiller.
