Zur Geschichte der Zahlentheorie in den dreißiger Jahren, Hasse's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves over finite fields - An historical perspective by Professor Peter Roquette (plus notes on class-field theory, Artin L-functions, Erich Hecke)
A glance at Paulo Ribenboim's Fermat's Last Theorem for amateurs, Franz Lemmermeyer's Reciprocity Laws and L.E. Dickson's History of the Theory of Numbers, reveals the existence of many past number theorists about whom little is known.
