The volume continues the critical edition of Bernard Bolzano's mathematical diary, his \textit{Miscellanea Mathematica}, with notebook 14 written between 24 May 1815 and 8 February 1816. It contains above all the results of Bolzano's examination of mathematical textbooks, but also some independent investigations on problems of geometry (e.g. concerning the doctrine of space) and analysis, especially concerning infinite series and his proof of the binomial theorem. The volume documents an enormous amount of editorial work, forced by Bolzano's special form of shorthand. The introduction by B. van Rootselaar (pp. 11-15) gives hints on relevant topics treated by Bolzano. The volume is closed by a bibliography and indices including basic biographical data of all persons mentioned.
