See the essay 'Prophetentum' (922), in Sehriften 5, 1, pp. 196-204, a wither IlIg critique of Bloch's Thomas Munzer als Theologe der Revolution (1921). Kracauer's , ritique of Buber's and Rosenzweig's translation of the Bible prepared the ground I . ... his reconciliation with Bloch. Their friendship, which though not free of conflict as close and survived exile, is documented by the 'BriefWechsel' cited in note 4 above. 26.

Kracauer's essays are catalogued in Thomas Y. Levin, Siegfried Kraeauer. Eine lIihliographie seiner Schriften, Deutsche Schillergesellschaft, Marbach am Neckar 1989. I'' ''' the period 1921-33, i.e. the years with the Frankfurter Zeitung, the bibliography lists almost 2,000 titles.
