clarified that they had adopted a clear division of labor in writing [@B-N]: Brill was responsible for the largely historical part up to and including Riemann’s work, whereas Noether wrote about the various directions taken by contemporary researchers working in the wake of Riemann’s novel innovations [@Brill1923]. In the discussion below, we will be concerned only with Noether’s portion of the report. Noether chose to omit the more recent work on higher-dimensional algebraic varieties inaugurated by Italian researchers as well as the arithmetical approach taken by Dedekind and Weber. The latter as well as Hensel and Landsberg, [*Theorie der algebraischen Funktionen einer Variabeln und ihre Anwendung auf algebraische Kurven und Abelsche Integrale*]{} (1902) were taken up much later in a shorter report by Emmy Noether in [@Noether1919].

[^6]: Bertini presumably had sent Klein an offprint of [@Bertini1891] along with a request that this short note be reprinted in the [*Annalen*]{}.
