Abstract
This book is obviously not the place to give a full portrait of Volterra and his French colleagues. They are too huge and complex scientific personalities for that. The collected works of each of them have been published in [8,27,47] and [57]. Information about their lives can be gathered from various sources, such as the numerous obituaries which have appeared after their deaths. Let us moreover mention that several biographies, of different kind and completeness, can be found on Borel, Hadamard and Volterra in recent literature.
