Steiner and others was first performed at the Theater an der Wien on 10 February 1871.<br /> <br /> "On the advice of his first wife the theatrically-astute mezzo-soprano Henriette 'Jetty' Treffz Johann began experimenting with the composition of operetta during the mid-1860s but it was not until 1871 that a stage work of his Indigo und die vierzig Räuber was produced. Though a box-office success the work received mixed critical reviews; Ludwig Speidel Fremden-Blatt 12 February 1871 considered the piece 'promises the most splendid expectations for the future' while Hanslick Neue Freie Presse 12 February 1871 dismissed it as 'Strauss dance music with words added and ascribed rôles'."

183686259C. F. Osiander: Tübingen 1836. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Two volume set. 20.5 x 13 cm. Octavo. xvi 732pp xii 752pp German language text. Bound into grey and black patterned boards with tan spine labels with gilt lettering. Band 1 dated 1835 band 2 dated 1836. Scuffing and some bumping to edges and joints of the boards. Bindings remains firm. Internally in nice condition. A controversial Hegelian inspired work on the historical origins of Christianity which met immediate backlash upon publication by both the orthodox as well as more rational. "Strauss maintained with unyielding vigor the theory which has no basis in fact that the Christ of the Gospels excepting the barest scraps of personal history was the unintentional creation of the early Christian Messianic expectations. The miracles to which he applied the severest and narrowest criteria were thus largely dismissed as fiction and his view of the relation of the human to the divine was jejune." PMM 300.

Internally with occassional light marginal browning and occassional brownspotting. XVI 731 1 pp.; XII 750 2 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Strauss’ landmark and sensational work in which he argued that the miracles in the New Testament were mythical additions with little basis in facts - a seminal text in the history of biblical studies and of religious scholarship generally. Because of the present work Strauss is today regarded a pioneer in the historical investigation of Jesus. "The publication of 'The Life of Jesus Critically Considered' aroused a storm of controversy; its revolutionary thesis and content were violently attacked and wrenched out of context. Strauss's principal objective was to explode not only the traditional orthodox view of the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus but also earlier rationalistic views." PMM. PMM 300. </em> hardcover

Strauss's principal objective was to explode not only the traditional orthodox view of the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus but also earlier rationalistic views." PMM. <br /> <br />Strauss's first and greatest work a crucial text in the history of biblical studies and of religious scholarship generally. The first consistent systematic application of the then quasi-Hegelian notion of myth to the New Testament and early Christianity offering an epoch-making interpretation of the Christ of the Gospels as the unintentional product of a "mythos" of Messianic expectation already present in ancient Hebrew culture. The book was a scandal which adversely affected Strauss's entire career offending rationalist and orthodox biblical literalists alike. Strauss came to be known as the "alienated theologian" and he died having written a last work - The Old and the New Faith - which eschewed religion altogether in favor of scientific materialism - for which he was savagely attacked by no less than the philosopher Nietzsche. For all of that his work laid the foundation for the cultural and synoptic approaches to the New Testament which have dominated modern Biblical research. This is a critical document in the evolution of the Western religious sensibility. <br /> <br />PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 300 <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in matching contemporary 3/4 leather with marbled boards.
