The central publications of the controversy that erupted when Lessing published 'fragments' of the work of Hermann Samuel Reimarus that attacked Lutheran orthodoxy and argued for a rational deism rejecting the theology of revelation. This led to an exchange of polemical pamphlets between Lessing and the principle defender of Lutheranism Johann Melchior Goeze a pastor from Hamburg. These culminated in Lessing's 11 'Anti-Goeze' tracts that contain the seeds of his thoughts regarding religion that became the foundation of 'Nathan the Wise.' The so-called Fragmentes Dispute is considered the most important theological controversy of the 18th century pitting Lessing's Enlightenment philosophy against Lutheran orthodoxy.

This is a copy of the first issue with no attempt at correction on p.95: i.e. "Ein reichre Mann" line 11 is followed by "Der reichre Jude war line 13. A towering figure of the eighteenth-century German Enlightenment Gotthold Ephraim Lessing 1729-1781 produced two works one at the beginning of his literary career and one at the end each of which featured a Jew as a principal character. The one-act comedy Die Juden 1749 was one of Lessing's earliest literary ventures and was "the first time a Jew was presented on a the German stage in a reasonably objective manner" EJ. His last play Nathan the Wise 1779 is much better known and once again contains a plea for toleration. Lessing's inspiration for Nathan was his friend the Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. Nathan is here made the spokesperson for brotherhood tolerance and the love of humanity indeed all the noble aspirations of the Enlightenment. The play is set during the time of the Third Crusade ca. 1192 during an armistace in Jerusalem. "Based on the parable of the three rings adapted from Boccaccio's Decameron the play presents Judaism represented by Nathan Christianity a Templar knight and Islam Saladin the Turkish Sultan as three sons of a benevolent father who has given each an identical ring although each one claims that his ring alone is authentic" EJ. While the vision here presented of inter-religious amity was ridiculed by the likes of Julius von Voss Der travestierte Nathan der Weise 1804 and attacked by various anti-Semites Lessing's ideals found much support among German Jews such as Gabriel Riesser I. H. Ritter Berthold Auerback Emil Lehmann and Johann Jacoby. Indeed Lessing's "ideological and stylistic influence on the Haskalah was as decisive as that of Friedrich Schiller" EJ.<br /> <br /> "Lessing was born in Saxony the son of a pastor and after a brilliant career at school entered the University of Leipzig as a theology student. Here however the two interests literature and the theatre which were to dominate his life first discovered themselves. Yet perhaps Lessing is best judged by the sum of his achievement. He was one of the principal figures in the Aufklärung the emancipation of German literature from the narrow classicism of the French school. It was he more than any other who laid the foundation of the intellectual primacy of German writers and thinkers in the nineteenth century. Without attching himself to any special philosophical school he consistently opposed error and dogmatism and in art in poetry in drama and in religion he provided new stimulation." PMM pp. 128-129.
