Mathematical Gems from the Bolyai Chests: Janos Bolyai's Discoveries in Number Theory and Algebra As Recently Deciphered from His Manuscripts

Kiss supplements his previously published studies of Hungarian mathematician Bolyai (1802-60) by reporting on problems and other material that lie hidden in his collection of manuscripts and that the rather vast published literature seems to be unaware of. Whenever possible, he relies entirely on those primary documents, including scattered notes and slips of paper, held in the Teleki Library. He indexes only by name. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
