See also the articles by \textit{R. Tobies} [ibid., 117-130 (1996; Zbl 0907.01032)] and \textit{D. E. Rowe} [ibid., 131-145 (1996; Zbl 0907.01024)]. Was Grassmann's contribution to mathematics recognized late? If so, why? Probably not late: his collected works were early compared with others, e.g. Dirichlet, and unusual, because he was not attached to a University or an Academy; his partisans were restricted and negative; his methods were overshadowed by quaternions at the time, and the notation for vectors and their products caused untold strife, even more than that revealed in the article by \textit{K. Reich} [ibid., 197-210 (1996; Zbl 0907.01023)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0853.00027].
