Я мельком пролистал книгу Депмана, но упоминаний Вальмеса не нашел. Где именно он там упомянут?!

На стр 24,
но откуда Депман это взял, не написано. Нужно поглядеть на список литературы у него.
Содержательным источником может быть
р а и к А. Е. Из ранней исторни алгебры .• Ученые записки· Молотовского
Государственного университета, т. УIII, вып. 1,1953.

Но в Швеции такое точно не найдешь.

Ещё одно письмо в редакцию American Mathematical Monthly, v. 97(4), 1990, pp. 311-313.

Цитата:

Editor:

I have read the letter by Peter F. Zoll in Vol 96, number 8, p. 709, of this MONTHLY. I would like give a partial answer to Mr Zoll's questions. Regarding the alleged burning of Valmes in 1486 by Tom'as de Torquemada because he had solved the general quartic equation, I have found no reference concerning either Valmes or his alleged punishment. However, this fact seems contradictory to known historical documentation, namely, that modern Algebra (Italian and German schools) was introduced into Spain circa 1552 by the German scholar Marc Aurel, [4], [7] p. 97. On the other hand, Zoll's letter gives the impression that there were no Spanish mathematicians to speak of in that period. It is this point I want to address in this letter.

...и далее про развитие испанской математики в средние века...
