Hugh MacColl: A bibliographic expose of his major works and notes on their reception history

The work of Hugh MacColl (1837-1909) suffered the same fate after his death as before it: despite being vaguely alluded to and in part even commended, on the whole it has remained an unknown quantity. Even worse, those of his ideas which have played a decisive role in the history of logic have been credited to his successors; this is especially the case with the definition of strict implication and the first formal development of formal modal logic. This paper takes an initial step towards a rectification of this unfortunate misrepresentation, presenting a bibliography of MacColl's most significant publications with particular regard to their reception.
