Review text

This 5th edition is much more voluminous than the previous ones which had about 100 pages (see e.g. Zbl 0691.01035). And indeed this new edition is revised and improved and much easier to use. So you find the original page of the diary in facsimile on the left-side and the transcription of the Latin text on the right-side (p. 25--63). On pp. 65--131 you find again the transcription of the Latin text this time on the left-side and the translation into German on the right-side. On pp. 145--233 you find again the German translation on the left-side and the corresponding notes on the right-side. There are several accompanying facsimile-illustrations (p. 25 the front page of the diary, p. 133 a manuscript page of Gauss with illustrations, p. 235 a list of names of all the persons to whom Gauss sent his dissertation with illustrations); the notes, the remarks and the in between mentioned literature were enlarged and modernized. Unfortunately, this new edition does not include an index, though this lack was even regretted in previous reviews.
