A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 435-437 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract On February 19, 1897, Weierstrass died. Mittag-Leffler immediately wrote an obituary that was printed in volume 21 of Acta. And he asked Poincaré to write an article about Weierstrass’s place in the history of mathematics, which appeared in volume 22 of Acta. Mittag-Leffler now regarded Poincaré to be without question the foremost living mathematician, but for the vacancy left by Weierstrass in the Academy of Sciences, he suggested one of the great old mathematicians, 73-year-old Brioschi. Poincaré was still young and could wait.
