Q: Is there a set of some comprehensive surveys or monographs describing (in technical detail) the historical development of the various subareas of analysis and partial differential equations?

I'm especially (but not only) interested in expositions of the most recent ($20^{\text{th}}$ century onwards) developments.

For instance, I already know the following works:

• History of Functional Analysis, by J. Dieudonné;
• Partial Differential Equations in the 20th Century, by H. Brezis and F. Browder;
• A History of Analysis, edited by H. N. Jahnke.

A slight variation on the theme of this question is:

Q': Which "texbooks"/monographs (dealing with subareas of analysis and PDE) strongly embrace an historical point of view?

For example, I've some good memories of the following book (which deals with topics in basic calculus):

• Analysis by Its History by E. Hairer and G. Wanner.

A quite related question is Motivation for and history of pseudo-differential operators.

A slightly different question that one may ask is:

Q': Which "texbooks"/monographs (dealing with subareas of analysis and PDE) strongly embrace an historical perspective?

For example, I've some good memories of the book Analysis by Its History (which deals with topics in basic calculus) by E. Hairer and G. Wanner.

A quite related question is Motivation for and history of pseudo-differential operators.
