The Life of Niels Henrik Abel

Arild Stubhaug

A chapter in The Legacy of Niels Henrik Abel, 2004, pp 7-20 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The story goes that when Niels Henrik was born on August 5, 1802, he arrived three months early and was so weak that he had to be washed in red wine and swathed in thick layers of cotton in order for his tiny spark of life not be extinguished. There is much to indicate that this birth took place at Nedstrand, not at Finnøy, an island near by (near Stavanger), where the father of the new-born was a parish vicar.
