How a grandson of a Wissenschaft scholar lovingly rebels against his grandfather

Here is Martin Buber's dedication of his Die Geschichten des Rabbi Nachman (Frankfurt A.M., 1906), to his beloved grandfather Salomon Buber, who died that same year, no doubt because his grandson wrote this book.

The dedication is to "To my grandfather Salomon Buber, the last of the Masters of the Old Haskalah, I bring this work on Chassidut, with awe and love."
