Review text

Summary: Since 1882 [\textit{F. Schur}, Math. Ann. 20, 254--297 (1882; JFM 14.0564.01)] it is known that the so-called Schur's quartic contains exactly 64 lines. However, it has not yet been established what is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint lines that it can have. The aim of our work is to show in an elementary and self-contained way that the maximum number of pairwise disjoint lines in Schur's quartic is 16 (without using Nikulins's theorem or Miyaoka's upper bound).
