Carl G. J. Jacobi (1804–1851), professor at Königsberg and Berlin, developed the theory of elliptic functions (also discovered independently by Gauss and Abel — see, respectively, planets  (1001) and  (8525)). He is also known for a functional determinant now called the jacobian. He was one of the last mathematicians who published their researches in Latin. (M 38201) _ _.
