A synthetic approach to intrinsic differential geometry in the
large and its connections with the foundations of geometry was
presented in "The Geometry of Geodesics" (1955, quoted as G). It is
the purpose of the present report to bring this theory up to date.
Many of the later ip.vestigations were stimulated by problems posed
in G, others concern newtopics. Naturally references to G are
frequent. However, large parts, in particular Chapters I and III as
weIl as several individual seetions, use only the basic
definitions. These are repeated here, sometimes in a slightly
different form, so as to apply to more general situations. In many
cases a quoted result is quite familiar in Riemannian Geometry and
consulting G will not be found necessary. There are two exceptions
: The theory of paralleIs is used in Sections 13, 15 and 17 without
reformulating all definitions and properties (of co-rays and limit
spheres). Secondly, many items from the literature in G (pp.
409-412) are used here and it seemed superfluous to include them in
the present list of references (pp. 106-110). The quotations are
distinguished by [ ] and ( ), so that, for example, FreudenthaI [1]
and (I) are found, respectively, in G and here.
