Hermann Gunther Gramann was one of the 19th century's most
remarkable scientists, but many aspects of his life have remained
in the dark. This book assembles essential, first-hand information
on the Gramann family. It sheds light on the family's struggle for
scientific knowledge, progress and education. It puts a face on the
protagonists of an exciting development in the history of science.
And it highlights the peculiar set of influences which led Hermann
Gramann to brilliant insights in mathematics, philology and
physics.
This book of sources is meant to complement the biography of
Gramann and the proceedings of the 2009 Gramann Bicentennial
Conference (Birkhauser 2010). "Roots and Traces" will interest all
scholars working on Hermann Gramann and related topics. It offers
newly discovered pictures of family members, historical texts
documenting life in this exceptional family and an English
translation of these previously unpublished papers.
Text in German and English.
