In addition, the book contains numerous illustrations and English translations of original sources, which are published here for the first time. These include life histories of Graßmann (written by his son Justus) and of his brother Robert (written by Robert himself), as well as the paper 'On the concept and extent of pure theory of number'' by Justus Graßmann (the father).…
