Scarce second edition of a work which went through 15 editions in 100 years as one of the most influential mathematical publications of the 20th century. "The development of Hilberts Grundlagen der Geometrie was not finished with the first edition. The complete content was continously revised, especially during his lifetime. He considered new results, gave hints in articles and improved his own formulations." (Michael Toepell in Landmarks Writings in Western Mathematics). This second edition is nearly 2 times larger than the first edition, expanded with 5 supplements (Anhänge).
