Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the fate of Franz Rosenzweig’s private library which is today part of the National Library of Tunisia. With the German-Jewish philosopher’s death in 1929, the collection passed to his son Rafael, who fled Germany for Palestine in 1939. The library with about 3,000 volumes was to follow him, but the cargo ship was diverted to Tunis during the Second World War. The article sheds light on the context of the collection’s origin and significance in the life of Franz Rosenzweig and his environment, the odyssey of the books to Tunisia and the aftermath of the collection until today.
