Bolzano’s letters to his former student Josef Sommer are, apart from the letters to Michael Josef Fesl und František Příhonský, the third largest collection of letters in Bolzano’s literary estate. The letters to Sommer show the progress of his work on the ›Wissenschaftslehre‹ (Theory of Science) and the ›Größenlehre‹ (Theory of Quantities), among other things. This volume also contains letters to the mathematician Johann Friedrich Christian Werneburg, to his former students Florian Werner, Václav Alois Svoboda and Johann August Zimmermann as well as to the educators Franz Carl Hillardt and his friends Antonín Karel Přibyl, Jan Pospíšil and Franz Pistl.
