Cet opus de la collection Cahiers de Logique et d'Epist mologie est une contribution
l'histoire de la presse math matique et plus particuli rement des journaux qui marqu rent ou accompagn rent son mergence dans l'Europe du 19 me si cle. Bien que traitant de ce sujet sur un plan g n ral, il est plus particuli rement question ici de p riodiques ayant vu le jour dans quatre pays europ ens sur la p riode 1800-1900: la France, l'Italie, le Portugal et l'Espagne. Le lecteur y trouvera des contributions originales sur leurs diteurs, leurs politiques ditoriales, leurs contenus et les populations d'auteurs qui les aliment rent. On v rifiera ainsi comment l’ mergence de ces journaux contribua
la sp cialisation des math matiques,
l'instauration de la forme moderne des changes et de l’ mulation entre math maticiens et indirectement
la mise en place des crit res actuels de la reconnaissance de ces derniers par leurs pairs. This opus of the series Cahiers de Logique et d'Epist mologie is a contribution to the general history of mathematics press and especially of some journals that allowed or accompanied its birth in some European countries in the 19th century: France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The reader will find in it original papers on their editors, their editorial policies, their contents and their authors. So one can check how the emergence of these journals contributed to the specialization of mathematics, to the introduction of the modern form of exchanges and competition between mathematicians, and indirectly to the implementation of current criteria for the recognition of those ones by their peers. Christian Gerini and Norbert Verdier are professors in Mathematics and researchers in History and Philosophy of Science, the first one at the University of Toulon (France) and at the GHDSO (Groupe d'Histoire et de Diffusion des Sciences d'Orsay, University Paris Sud 11), the second one at the University Paris Sud 11 and at the GHDSO.
