This opus of the series Cahiers de Logique et d'Epistémologie 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.
