Around the beginning of this century G. Humbert ([9]) made a detailed study of the properties of compact complex surfaces which can be parametrized by singular abelian functions. A surface parametrized by singular abelian functions is the image under a holomorphic map of a singular abelian surface (i.e. an abelian surface whose endomorphism ring is larger than the ring of rational integers). Humbert showed that the periods of a singular abelian surface satisfy a quadratic relation with integral coefficients and he constructed an invariant D of such a relation with respect to the action of the integral symplectic group on the periods.
