Leipzig, B. G. Teubner, 1893. 8vo. Bound with the original wrappers in contemporary half calf. In "Mathematische Annalen", Volume 41., 1893. Entire volume offered. Library label to upper part of spine. Extremities with wear, internally very fine and clean. Pp. 403-442. [Entire volume: IV, 604 pp.].

First printing of Hurwitz's paper on Riemann surface theory and hyperbolic geometry, today known as a Hurwitz surface; essentially a compact Riemann surface with precisely 84(g - 1) automorphisms, where g is the genus of the surface. This number is maximal by virtue of Hurwitz's theorem on automorphisms.

The present volume contain several other papers by influential contemporary mathematicians.
