By studying the way in which historians of mathematics took advantage of these opportunities, we have sought the contours, the lines of force, and the equilibria of this process of the internationalization of the history of mathematics on an institutional as well as intellectual plane. This search was focused through the study of the German- and French-language editions of the En- cyklopadie¨ der mathematischen Wissenschaften, which is one of the most remarkable examples dating from this period of an international collaboration for mathematics and its history.
