MENDELSSOHN, Moses

Beschreibung

First printing of this essay criticising the Church of England by Moses Mendelssohn, in the journal of the Mittwochsgesellschaft, of which he was a member. The Berlinische Monatsschrift was the main publication spreading the Enlightenment in Germany. It was the organ of the Berlin Wednesday Society , a secret group of 'Friends of Enlightenment' whose members included Mendelssohn and Johann Friedrich Zöllner, as well as the Monatsschrift editors, Gedike and Biester. The monthly magazine's 168 issues came out between 1783 and 1796. Fifteen essays by Kant made their first appearance in its pages, most famously his answer to Zöllner's question What is Enlightenment? in the December 1784 issue - the same issue in which Mendelssohn's own answer to the question appeared. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The entire Volume 3, 8vo, frontispiece portrait, [viii], 576 pp., contemporary pale boards, rubbed and slightly marked, spine a bit darkened, ruled and lettered in gilt, wear at extremities, stamp on title-page verso, internally very clean.
