Successor to Max Lilienthal in the Tsarist government's Ministry of Education, Leon Mandelstamm (1819-89) attempted to enforce Haskalah or secular education upon Russian Jewry. The present work contains the Kevod ha-Melech, which stresses the Jew’s religious duty to respect kings and temporal rulers. See J. Raisin, The Haskalah Movement in Russia (1913), pp. 186, 200; E. Katzman, Yeshurun Vol. V; B. Naor, From A Kabbalist’s Diary (2005), pp. ; JE, Vol. VIII, pp. 289-90; EJ, Vol. XI, col. 868
