Abstract

Abstract : We show that in the existing bibliography there are many contradictory claims about the exact date of death of Hermann Weyl and, after a detailed exposition of the way we got our evidence, we demonstrate that Weyl died on 8 December 1955. The paper also shows up the fact that an authoritative intellectual biography on Weyl is yet to be written.
