‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "From, 1898 until his death, Severi published more than 400 books and papers on mathematics, history of science, education and philosophy. His most outstanding contributions, however, were in the field of algebraic geometry. Severi acquired the taste for elegant synthetic arguments while studying with Segre at the University of Turin, from which he graduated in 1900 under Segre's guidance. At Turin he became interested in algebraic and enumerative problems and developed a broad geometric eclecticism and a formidable dexterity in the projective geometry of higher spaces... Severi perfected the theory of birational invariants of algebraic surfaces and created an analogous (but more complex) theory for algebraic varieties of arbitrary dimension... Algebraic geometry has undergone several revoutionary changes in the twentied century that have led to many schools and to several widely differing methods of approach. Severi's work remains not merely a monument to him but also a valuable source from which all algebraic geometers continue to draw ideas...". (DSB XII pp. 330/332)**4768/CAV.G2‎
