GORDAN, Paul Albert. Vorlesungen über Invariantentheorie, 2nd edition, 2 vols. in one, Leipzig 1885, 1887. In-8°, half shagreen with corners (scuffed), marbled covers, pp. xii + 202; xii + 360. Signature 'O. Bolza' on the title page. In this edition, edited by Georg Kerschensteiner, the first volume deals with 'Determinants,' and the second with 'Binary Forms.' Paul Gordan’s work represents the culmination of the first period of research on the theory of invariants, a field of research initiated by Lagrange (1773) and Gauss (c. 1800), established by George Boole in 1843, and developed by Sir George Cayley, J. J. Sylvester, and Felix Klein in the second half of the century. Provenance: the library of Hans and Oscar Bolza, then passed down through the family.
