In 1911, the research mathematician Leonard Dickson embarked on a historical study of the theory of numbers which culminated in the publication of his three-volume History of the Theory of Numbers. This paper discusses the genesis of this work, the historiographic style revealed therein, and the mathematical contributions which arose out of it.
En 1911, le mathématicien Leonard Dickson s'est lancé dans une étude historique de la théorie des nombres, qui a culminé avec la publication de son History of the Theory of Numbers en trois volumes. Notre étude examine la genèse de ce travail, l'approche historiographique qui la sous-tend et les contributions mathématiques qui en découlent.
