The author investigates the communication processes between nineteenth century mathematical communities characterized by a common language and a common culture. The communication and the misunderstandings between the French and German mathematical communities are given considerable attention. Interesting is the case of Italy. Although in Italy algebraic research was dominant in the first half of the nineteenth century, in the second half of the century the attention switched to geometry and the logical foundations. The author shows that this switch was related to the unification of Italy: in the educational system French and Austrian textbooks were replaced by Euclid's Elements, classical values were emphasized. British and Greek mathematics are also briefly treated in the paper. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0862.00010].
