I am searching for the article by Gerhard Frey, which has indicated a connection between Fermat's Last Theorem and the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture. The reference is give as

Gerhard Frey, Links between stable elliptic curves and certain diophantine equations, Annales Universitatis Saraviensis 1, 1-40 (1986).

Unfortunately, I am not able to find this publication. Is there an online-version of it available somewhere, or is contacting University Saarbruecken library the only option?

    $\begingroup$ I have a xeroxed paper copy of it, taken from a copy of the journal issue obtained from the university library in Würzburg via "Fernleihe". You could try to do the same or ask directly in Saarbrücken. If you give me your address, I can also ask my secretary to send you another xerox copy of it. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The connection between elliptic curves and FLT was first observed by Yves Hellegouarche in his 1972 thesis. See the appendix to Hellegouarche's 2001 book on FLT. Frey cites Hellegouarche's prior work in his 1977, 1982, 1987, and 1989 papers, but NOT in the 1986 paper linked above. $\endgroup$
