First printing of Segre's paper containing what would later be known as Segre Surfaces: An intersection of two quadrics in 4-dimensional projective space with In algebraic geometry. The term "Segre surface" is also occasionally used for various other surfaces, such as a quadric in 3-dimensional projective space, or the hypersurface
