I would like to know if anyone knows of any universities that teach courses (not independent study or a survey style history of math) focused on complete reading of selected original "great" works of mathematics? It seems to me that this is a surprising omission in practically every university's math curriculum.
The intent is not to create a "great works" list here (but see for example Original works of great mathematicians); rather to point out that in my experience to have a course that carefully goes through a selected "great work" (as a representative one could pick perhaps Gauss' Disquisitiones) does not exist anywhere. One could speculate on the reasons for this, which would be interesting, but really, I just would like to know if anyone knows of any universities that do have such courses (probably in a math department, but not necessarily)? I realize that language may sometimes be a barrier, so I'd like to emphasize that I'd like to know about such courses elsewhere in the world besides just English-speaking countries (although of course many works have been translated into English).
I have read portions of some of the originals and while I can understand some of it on my own, it is very hard to do in isolation and having a "tour guide" through such material would be of inestimable value. Every math class I have taken alludes frequently to the progenitors of the topic at hand, but the originals are never read, except perhaps in snippets. The Math History classes I am aware of are surveys. In order to do what I am describing, an entire semester would have to be devoted to a single work, I would expect.
