^Lot 188 Martin Buber

German Jewish philosopher and writer (1878–1965) who evolved a philosophy inspired by study of Hasidism and based on the encounter of man with nature, man, and God. TLS in German, signed “Your Buber,” one page, 5 x 8, July 20, 1961. Letter to Mr. Rang. In part (translated): “I am sending you the entire manuscript material as certified printed matter, and by surface mail, which will arrive much later than airmail. The letters would have to be surveyed and photocopied, considering the unstable mail situation (I have lost manuscripts twice in the course of the last few years), I do not wish to let the originals out of my hands. I myself have not yet seen Melzer’s new edition, of which you write. I only know of it because Dr. Robert Weltsch who wrote the epilogue (Not Schoeps, as you write in your letter) had asked me for the material at the time.” In fine condition, with potion of one word crossed out by Buber.
