As in the summer of 1887 I delivered my Lectures on the Messianic Prophecies, perhaps for the last time, as I had reason to believe, I sought to put the product of my long scientific investigation into as brief, attractive, and suggestive a form as possible. At the same time the wish inspired me to leave as a legacy: to the Institutum Judaicum the compendium of a Concordia fidei ; to our missionaries a Vade mecum. Thus arose this little book — a late sheaf from old and new grain. May God own the old as not obsolete, the new as not obsolescent !
