Detailed
Description		    A critical review of biography and methodology of the Mishne. Upon the publication of this work R. Samson Rafael Hirsch attacked the Author in his periodical Jeschurun. An open letter addressed to Frankel by Gottlieb Fischer (Jeschurun, 1860) was followed by a series of critical essays in which Hirsch demanded that Frankel give a precise exposition of his views on rabbinical tradition and the revelation at Mount Sinai. Hirsch's stand was upheld by other Orthodox rabbis, notably Z. B. Auerbach (Ha-Zofeh al Darkhei ha-Mishnah, 1861), Salomon Wolf Klein (Mi-Penei Koshet, 1861), Samuel Freund, and the anonymous author of Me'or Einayim, while Frankel was supported by the conservative rabbis and scholars Solomon Judah Rapoport (Divrei Shalom va-Emet, 1861), Wolf Landau, Saul Isaac Kaempf (Mamtik Sod, 1861), and Raphael Kirchheim. Confining himself to a brief statement in his journal Monatsschrift fuer Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums (vol. 10 (1861), 159–60), Frankel stressed that it was not his purpose to dispute the worth of rabbinical tradition or to deny its antiquity, adding that the question as to which of its halakhic elements were to be considered of Mosaic origin was not yet resolved.
