In-8°, various bindings (half-leather or cloth with corner pieces). Set of 20 vols. Organized by Felix Klein and Wilhelm Franz Meyer, this remarkable compilation has had a considerable influence. In 2009, the historian of mathematics Ivor Grattan-Guinness noted that many of the articles were the first on their subjects at the time and that several are still either the most recent or the best. Some also contain excellent historical information. Provenance: the library of Hans and Oscar BOLZA, then passed down through the family.
