Their positions in the learned world, however, were very unequal. Hevelius was a reputed astronomer and a fellow of the Royal Society, while Lubieniecki was an amateur interested in comets and astronomy. In this paper, I present the goals they have in this correspondence and the ways in which they tried to achieve them, and I try to explain why their correspondence was so numerous and long-lasting.}, doi = {10.4467/0023589XKHNT.19.007.10115}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/kwartalnik-historii-nauki-i-techniki/artykul/stanislaw-lubieniecki-and-johannes-hevelius-extra-ordinary-men-of-letters} }
