unapi

Die freie Leistung des Genius kann in keine Formel eines Contracts gefaßt werden (Jacobi) On February 5, 1850, the Austrian emperor Franz Josef appointed C.G. Jacob Jacobi to the position of full professor at the University of Vienna. Thanks to the efforts of Alexander von Humboldt, however, the world-famous Prussian mathematician remained in Berlin and continued in his position as a salaried member of the Academy of Sciences.This paper describes the history of Jacobi's appointment in Vienna and his ultimate rejection of it.
