In 1996 the AMS awarded Goro Shimura the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement for his "important and extensive work on arithmetical geometry and automorphic forms." His seminal work has resulted in the "many notations in number theory that carry his name and that have long been familiar to workers in the field." These 5 volumes contain 103 of his most important papers, beginning in 1954 and continuing up through the present.
