The complete correspondence of Carl Friedrich Gauß
This site lists all known letters written by and to Carl Friedrich Gauss(1777-1855). Gauss wrote or received more than 8000 letters. Only letters of which the original, a copy or a draft is known have been included. It informs about the location of the existing autographs or copies and also about printed editions or citations of the individual letters. Missing details, e.g. the dates on which or the place from which the letters were sent, have been added as far as possible.

The metadata of the letters have been made available by Prof. Dr. Menso Folkerts (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich), who also has provided transcriptions of a large part of the letters. Information about previously unknown letters and other comments are welcome. They should be sent to Prof. Folkerts or to the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Göttingen.
