The 65 letters which Beltrami wrote to Jules Houel between 1868 and 1881 are valuable both for the clarification of the main doubts and misunderstandings which dominated the attitude of the scientific world to non-Euclidean Geometries, and especially for the reconstruction of the genesis of Beltrami's research in this field. They are also bring out lesser-known aspects of Beltrami, such his interest in the problems of teaching mathematics and his material construction of the pseudospherical surface.

Abstract
The 65 letters which Beltrami wrote to Jules Houel between 1868 and 1881 are valuable both for the clarification of the main doubts and misunderstandings which dominated the attitude of the scientific world to non-Euclidean Geometries, and especially for the reconstruction of the genesis of Beltrami's research in this field. They are also bring out lesser-known aspects of Beltrami, such his interest in the problems of teaching mathematics and his material construction of the pseudospherical surface.
