Truth and Method by Hans-Georg Gadamer

https://www.amazon.com/Method-Bloomsbury-Revelations-Hans-Georg-Gadamer/dp/1780936249/ref=sr_1_1

In my personal library, nearly 800 resources reference Gadamer, yet Gadamer himself is nearly unavailable in Logos. In addition, from https://topics.logos.com/Hermeneutics_master_list you can see that Gadamer's Truth and Method is considered seminal in hermeneutics, a field of major interest to Bible students.

Amazon blurb:
Truth and Method is a landmark work of 20th century thought which established Hans Georg-Gadamer as one of the most important philosophical voices of the 20th Century. In this book, Gadamer established the field of 'philosophical hermeneutics': exploring the nature of knowledge, the book rejected traditional quasi-scientific approaches to establishing cultural meaning that were prevalent after the war. In arguing the 'truth' and 'method' acted in opposition to each other, Gadamer examined the ways in which historical and cultural circumstance fundamentally influenced human understanding. It was an approach that would become hugely influential in the humanities and social sciences and remains so to this day in the work of Jurgen Habermas and many others.

I vote for Gadamers "Wahrheit und Methode", i.e. the german language original.
