“The times have changed enormously, but I think that even a Jew, at least this Jew, may be allowed to approach you, at least on a purely academic matter.”
Issues of the Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums owned by Samuel Krauss at the University of Vienna Library1
The Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums, mouthpiece of the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums [Association for the Promotion of Judaic Studies] was founded in 1851 by rabbi Zacharias Frankel (1801–1875) in Dresden. It served as an outlet for the positive historical school of Judaism founded by him. This school was positioned between the reform and the new orthodox movements: conservative in terms of religion and belief but more critical when it came to historical research. The magazine also served for the promotion of Judaic studies, as the association’s name indicates. It was forced to cease publication in 1939.2
