The OP says:

> This essay is based on the article “Szeged in 1934”, which was compiled by Reuben Hersh from two manuscripts of Lorch’s for a proposed book on mathematics in Hungary.

Based on it, yes -- to the extent that you should just read the original. I'm not sure if the OP article really counts as plagiarism, but it's not worth reading when the original is right here.



I gave up reading the Cantor's Attic articles that keep getting linked from HN. They are all rehashes of well known stuff from other sources. Yes though, the Lorch article was excellent (I read it some time ago).


Oh the horses of Szegad!
