So I thought I’d dig through the archives over at Voegelin View and I came up with this piece by the beloved and avuncular Dr. Ellis Sandoz:

It’s the fourth part of a series and the other three parts are available on the page.
A search of the site indicates there are quite a few articles/essays and book excerpts related to the relationship between Voegelin and Strauss and on Stauss’s philosophy.

I met him at Princeton when he spoke at the James Madison Program. He was also nice enough to engage my emails. Very nice man.

Emmanuel Patard (a former student of R. Brague)has recently republished in German the Strauss Voegelin correspondence. He is working on a corrected English version–similar to his work on the Strauss-Kojeve items he published in Interpretation a few years back. He told me this September when I ran into him again at a Conference in Krakow that he was working on the Strauss-Voegelin correspondence. He told me he mail me the published prints of his German article when they come out.

This publishing house has a rather impressive collection of works by serious scholars that you might find of interest.

No that is not the edition I am referring to. I am referring to Glaube und Wissen. Der Briefwechsel zwischen Eric Voegelin und Leo Strauss von 1934 bis 1964.
Here Patard edits the letters in their original language and has notes correcting many of the errors found in the existing translations of the Strauss-Voegelin letters. Patard has an essay in the 2010 issue of the Political Science Reviewer addressing the issue of Strauss-Voegelin correspondence.
Also in the german volume Patard has made available of Strauss’s extensive notes on Voegelin’s New Science of Politics. Strauss as 17 detailed pages of notes with criticism of Voegelin’s New Science.
