The Barcelona typescripts on Weyl’s problem of space. (Les tapuscrits Barcelonais sur le problème de l’espace de Weyl.) (French. English summary) Zbl 1361.01007

H. Weyl delivered lectures in Barcelona and Madrid in March 1922, which were published in German under the title “Mathematische Analyse des Raumproblems” [Berlin: J. Springer (1923; JFM 49.0494.02)]. The typescripts of Weyl’s lectures in French and Spanish have been preserved at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans in Barcelona. The author provides a material description of the typescripts, recalls the circumstances of Weyl’s lectures, and compares the contents of the typescripts with those of the published version.
