This feat of scholarship was much admired by Moses Mendelssohn, who, upon publication of the first volume, did not hesitate to write a review praising Rabe’s accomplishments. Rabe included the entire review, complete with Mendelssohn's notes, in the Foreword to Part II. In introducing the anonymous Rabbi (i.e., Moses Mendelssohn), Rabe felt moved to bestow upon him the celebrated compliment previously reserved for Moses Maimonides: “From Moses to Moses there was none like Moses” ("Von Mose bis auf Mose sene nicht gewesen wie dieser Mose") (foreword, top p. 2). See A. Altmann, Moses Mendelssohn (1973) pp.196-97, 210.
