Berlin, Springer, 1928. Orig. full cloth. Lower part of spine with loss of cloth. Lower right cornerof titlepage cut away, no loss of letters. VIII,120 pp. First edition. (Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenshaften in Einzeldarstellungen, Band XXVII). In the years 1917-22 Hilbert gave three seminal courses at the Univeristy og Göttingen on logic and the foundation of mathematics. He received considerable help in preperation and eventual write up of these lectures from Bernays. This material was subsequently reworked by Ackermann into the monograph 'Grundzüge der Theoretischen Logik' (the offered item). It containes the first exposition ever of first-order logic and poses the problem of its completeness and the decision problem ('Entscheidungsproblem'). The first of these questions was answered just a year later by Kurt Gödel in his doctorial dissertation 'Die Vollständigkeit der Axiome des logischen Funktionenkalküls'. This result is known as Gödel's completeness theorem. Two years later Gödel published his famous 1931 paper 'Über formal unentscheidbare Sätze der Principia Mathematica und verwandter Systeme I' in which he showed that a stronger logic, capable of modeling arithmetic, is either incomplete or inconsistent (Gödel's second incompleteness theorem). The later question posed by Hilbert and Ackermann regarding the decision problem was answered in 1936 independantly by Alonzo Church and Allan Turing. Church used his model the lambda-calculus and Turing his machine model to construct undecidable problems and show that the decision problem is unsolvable in first-order logic. These results by Gödel, Church, and Turing rank amongst the most important contributions to mathematical logic ever.

From Weil 166 they are called "Sonderausgabe...". - Before 161 (up to 160) the Offprints do not have separate title and pagination (the pagination follows the numbering in the periodical). From 166 the Offprint has both separate printed title and pagination. - ( So Weil Nos 161-165 is still "Abdruck", but with separate title and pagination). These facts are not mentioned in the bibliographies.

First apperance of the papers in which Lecoc de Boisbaudran described how he separated Holmium into two kinds of earths and naming them."He accomplished this by fractional prepicitation, first with ammonium hydroxide and then with a saturated solution of potassium sulfate, and found that the constituents of pure holmium solutions precipitate in the folloeing order: terbium, dysprosium, holmium, and erbium. Lecog de Boisbaudran never had an abundant supply of raw materials for his remarkable researches on the rare earths, and he once confided to professor Urbain that most of his fractionations had been carried on on the marble slab of his fireplace."(Weeks "Discovery of the Eelements").Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1886 C.

It was in such form that he related to the Academie des Sciences on february 13, 1882 (the paper offered), the Académie which had thrice rejected mesmerism, and Charcot won a complete acceptance tor these medical findings..."(Boring "A History of Experimentaæl Psycology", p.698).Also with another importent paper: MARCEL DEPREZ "Sur la transport électrique de la force aux grandes distances" and "Des actions électriques dans les systèmes conducteurs semblables".
