Scarce second enlarged edition. "His greatest work, Handbuch der Kugelfunctionen was first published in 1861. The second edition (1878-81) - the offered item - of Heine's book was still a standard compendium on spherical functions well into the 1930's if one considers the the frequency with which it was quoted; that this edition has never been reprinted, however,belies this impression."
