Appendix A
ABEL’s correspondence
In 1881, when ABEL’s collected works were published in their second edition, SYLOW
and LIE included some of ABEL’s correspondence. 1 In 1902, a centennial Festschrift on
ABEL’s life, work, and correspondence appeared both in Norwegian and in French
including transcriptions of all known letters to and from ABEL. 2 In the twentieth
century, however, additional letters have been found, and for the convenience of the
reader, the table ?? provides a list of all the letters pertaining to ABEL known to the
author. All the letters appearing in the Norwegian version of the Festschrift were also
included in the French version. Missing information for year, month, or date indicate
that that particular information was not available in the letter.
