THE 'BEGRIFFSSCHRIFT' OF FREGE AND PEANO

FREGE, GOTTLOB.

Ueber die Begriffsschrift des Herrn Peano und meine einige. (In: Verhandlungen der Königlich Sächsischen Gesellschaft der Wissenschuften zu Leipzig, volume 48, pp.362-378.)

Leipzig, Hirzel, 1897.

8vo. Unbound, marbled paper strip to spine. In "Verhandlungen der Königlich Sächsischen Gesellschaft der Wissenschuften zu Leipzig", volume 48, pp.362-378. Fine and clean. 

First edition. In this paper Frege eagerly defended his conceptual notation against Peano's. Though Frege preceded both Schröder and Peano, neither paid much attantion to Frege's work. This neglet has been attributed to Frege's repulsive symbolism. (See Cajori: A History of Mathematical Notations, paragraph 687). Modern notation in logic originates mainly from Peano's system.
