First printing of Hilbert's ""Habilitationsschrift"", a fundamental work on algebraic invariants. With this he meant to revolutionize the feld by several new methods thatplay no part in the 1888 proof but would reappear to some extent in Hilbert’s (1891-92" 1893) response to Gordan’s criticism. By that time Hilbert’s resultsplus further ones by Gordan would solve Gordan’s problem.
