The manuscript of Abel's Parisian memoir found in its entirety
Abel presented his materpiece on transcendental functions to the Académie des Sciences in 1826; and it was rushed into print in 1840 under the control of G. Libri, as the author had been dead for more than a decade. The manuscript joined the mountain of disasters consequent upon Libri's thieving and the subsequent enquiry of sales by Libri himself. Viggo Brun found some of it in 1952, in the Biblioteca Moreniana in Florence; a few years later A. Procissi found a bit more in another collection in this library; and now the authoress records both her rediscovery of this part and also her finding of the missing pages, in yet another holding in the library! A typical post-Libri story.
