Dear Ariane,
Here is an excellent article that illuminates many details of Oscar
II's prize competition:
June Barrow-Green, "Oscar II's Prize Competition and the Error in
Poincare's Memoir on the Three-Body Problem," _Archive for the History
of the Exact Sciences_ 48:2 (1994), pp. 107-131.
good luck!
Shelley Costa
