title: Gauss and discovery of elliptic and modular functions
review text: When Gauss's \textit{Werke} were published in full in the years 1868-1927, it became clear that Gauss had developed the theory of elliptic functions in anticipation of Abel and Jacobi. The author traces the detailed account of Gauss's discoveries in this area using Gauss's diary [Werke, 10. Bd., Abtlg. 1 (1917; JFM 46.0034.08)].NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0964.00033].
