The Journal continues the “Séminaire de Théorie des Nombres” 1969-1989, whose volumes are consultable on the german server DigiZeitschriften.
During its first years (1989-1992 : volumes 1 to 4), the publication was called “Séminaire de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux, deuxième série” before taking on the present title, which is better suited to reality. The lectures given in the Bordeaux seminar gradually disappear, replaced by articles reveiwed by the editorial board.
