English commentary: "In this essay, I will explore Strauss's interpretation of Lessing's Spinozism... I will argue that Strauss was led to misunderstand Lessing by relying on Jacobi.... I would say that any influence that Lessing may have exercised over Straus'ss thought is secondary to the impact of Jacobi" (p. 291).
