Dialogue in Letters: The Correspondence of Leo Strauss and Seth Benardete, 1952–1973, edited by Ronna Burger and Svetozar Y. Minkov, is now available from Mercer University Press. The more than 220 letters begin while Benardete was writing his dissertation in Athens and Rome and continue until shortly before Strauss's death. They take up Homer, Plato, Herodotus, and Aristophanes, among other authors. The volume also includes four pieces by Benardete on Strauss's way of reading.

The Foundation has received an award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, through its Endowments for Advancing the Humanities program, toward an endowment for The Leo Strauss Complete Works: critical editions of Strauss's writings, his correspondence, his unpublished manuscripts, and his seminars edited from his course notes.

Strauss's first course at the New School, 1938–1939 (Penn State University Press, 2027); Strauss's correspondence with Paul Kraus (2027); Strauss's line-by-line commentary on Maimonides' Guide; and Strauss's notebook on Plato's Statesman.
