"In this book [Gauss] standardized the notation; he systematized the existing theory and extended it; and he classified the problems to be studied and the known methods of attack and introduced new methods. . . . [The Disquisitiones] not only began the modern theory of numbers but determined the directions of work in the subject up to the present time" (Kline, Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times, p. 813).The book was issued with a lengthy errata because of the complicated composition of the text, however, the most significant errors within the book were to be corrected with several cancel leaves. The number of cancel leaves in each copy varies, with this copy appearing to have five. The book rarely appears at auction.Norman 878; PMM 257.
