= DSB XVII, p.224-233: "Dirac was one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the twentieth century. He is best known for his important and elegant contributions to the formulation of quantum mechanics; for his quantum theory of the emission and absorption of radiation, which inaugurated quantum electrodynamics (...). Present expositions of quantum mechanics largely rely on his masterpiece The Principles of Quantum Mechanics (1930) (...) his fundamental textbook (...)" (p.224). Dirac received the Nobel prize for physics in 1933 together with E. Schrödinger.
