 A recent French edition of La trompette du jugement dernier (trans. Henri-Alexis Baatsch, with a commentary by Nicolas Dessaux titled “De Marx comme trompettiste”) contains a translation of Bauer’s anonymous 1841 text, Die Posaune des jüngsten Gerichts. This new translation slightly revises Baatsch’s earlier translation of La Trompette du jugement dernier contre Hegel, l’athée et l’antéchrist. Un ultimatum (1841). Dessaux’s commentary revives the authorship debate surrounding Die Posaune and its continuation, Hegel’s Lehre der Religion und Kunst (1842), by attributing much of the earlier text to Karl Marx, though previous literature has challenged similar claims. The grounds offered by Dessaux are that Marx possessed the requisite philosophical and biblical competence to compose the text himself, and that it contains typically Marxian turns of phrase. The issue of Marx’s potential collaboration on these texts had been raised previously; for example, the 1967 reissue of Hegels Lehre by Scientia Verlag, Aalen, had identified Marx as the possible author of the section of that text entitled “Hegels Haß gegen die heilige Geschichte und die göttliche Kunst der heiligen Geschichtsschreibung” (pp. 67–227). For earlier literature that questions the attribution to Marx, see Moggach 2003 (p. 222, note 59). The question of possible collaboration is also discussed in Marx-Engels Gesamtausgabe (MEGA1), David Ryazanov (ed.), 1929, I/2, p XLIV.
