Maßgebliche Ausgabe seines Hauptwerkes. - Farkas (Wolfgang) Bolyai (1775-1856), Professor für Mathematik in Siebenbürgen und eng mit K. F. Gauß befreundet, begründet hier zusammen mit seinem Sohn János (1802-1860) eine nicht mehr auf Euklid beruhende Geometrie. "The fundamental ideas. is an attempt at a rigorous and systematic foundation of geometry. and of arithmetic, algebra and analysis. The huge work shows the critical spirit of a man who recognized, as did few of his contemporaries, many weaknesses in the mathematics of his day. the Tentamen is a most remarkable witness to the sharpness of his mind and to his perseverance. In many respects, he can be taken as a precursor of Gottlob Frege, Pasch, and Georg Cantor. but as with many pioneers, he did not enjoy the credit that accrued to those who followed him" (DSB). - Sehr sauberes Exemplar. - DSB II, 269.
