The text is an interpretation of, and a commentary on, Hume’s self-presentation given in his autobiography, My Own Life, which he wrote shortly before his death. In the first section, the discussion aims at pointing out a hidden biographical and contemporary background, including the events of Hume’s life suppressed from the autobiography (the unsuccessful attempts to gain a professorship, Hume’s dispute with Rousseau). Some reactions to Hume’s death are also discussed. In the final section, the self-image offered by Hume is discussed in relation to the interpretation of the standpoint and style in the work of man of letters in the 18th century as advanced by James Harris and Lorrain Daston. The result of this analysis is to show that the question of Hume’s vanity is to a large degree an artificial problem arising from a misunderstanding of the context to which Hume, as a man of letters, belonged.

Wiek XVIII w Danii i Norwegii, krajach połączonych pod rządami duńskiej dynastii Oldenburgów, przyniósł przemiany nauki historycznej w jej społecznym funkcjonowaniu w związku z adaptacją na tym gruncie nowoczesnych idei republiki uczonych. Składały się na nie takie zjawiska jak powstawanie pierwszych nieformalnych środowisk oraz stowarzyszeń, konflikty i spory będące skutkiem zderzenia hierarchicznej i opartej na autorytecie nauki z tendencjami nowej humanistyki, cechującej się krytycyzmem i dążeniem do uwolnienia od tradycyjnych i stanowych kryteriów oceny uczonego, oraz zjawisko współpracy i wzajemnej pomocy wśród historyków. Widać też zmiany we wzajemnych relacjach historyków duńskich i szwedzkich. The eighteenth century in Denmark and Norway, the countries united under the rule of the Danish Oldenburg dynasty, brought about changes in the social functioning of history after the adaptation of modern ideas of the Republic of Letters (Respublica literaria). They included such phenomena as the emergence of early informal communities and associations, conflicts and disputes resulting from the collision of hierarchic science based on authority with trends of new humanities characterized by criticism and the desire to free scholars’ opinions from traditional and estate criteria, and cooperation and mutual assistance between historians. Changes also affected relations between Danish and Swedish historians.

Pierre des Noyers (1608–1693), a disciple of Gilles Personne de Roberval, is the most important correspondent of Johannes Hevelius. Their correspondence consists of 257 letters, in a corpus of 2700 letters, i.e. about 10% of the total. Pierre des Noyers came to Poland with Queen Louise-Marie de Gonzague. During his Polish travels he spent some time in Gdańsk (December 1646) and met the astronomer who was a prominent member of the city elite, as one of the most important brewers. During this period, Hevelius was completing his Selenographia (1647) and Pierre des Noyers was very helpful in expanding a European network that already included Marin Mersenne and Pierre Gassendi. The relations between the two scholars were very intense. After the death of the Queen (1667), des Noyers stayed in his friend’s house. The last letter is dated October 1686. Hevelius died in January 1687. Pierre des Noyers remained in Poland where he died in 1693. At this point I would like to present some conclusions based on my analysis of this correspondence, thereby introducing the third volume of the series Correspondance de Johannes Hevelius to be published in 2019.

Tematem artykułu są płynące z społecznego i kulturowego ożywienia okoliczności i uwarunkowania powstania pierwszego naukowego towarzystwa w XVIII-wiecznej Norwegii (1760) oraz jego międzynarodowe powiązania. Ukazuje, jak powyższe zjawiska odzwierciedlają na gruncie norweskim recepcję idei oświeceniowych oraz koncepcji europejskiej republiki uczonych.
EN
The 18th century is a period of social and cultural revival in Norwegian history. It is connected to the reception of the European Enlightenment ideas as well as the concept of the Republic of Letters. The foundation and international contacts of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (1760), which are depicted in this text, are a good example of the above phenomenon.

Our aim is to relate criteria for quality assessment in translation to micro elements. Punctuation in Arno Schmidt seems to be a good bet as, with him, this supposedly formal element is instrumental in constituting the sense of a text to a degree far beyond standard state-of-the-art routine.
XX
Der Beitrag versucht an Minimalelementen Übersetzungsqualität festzumachen. Bei Arno Schmidt bietet sich dafür die Zeichensetzung an, da diese in seinen Texten ein konstitutives Element darstellt, das in seiner Komplexität über Standard und Mainstream weit hinausgeht.

The article presents the correspondence of Michał Antoni Hacki (ca. 1630– 1703), abbot of the Oliwa monastery, and Johannes Hevelius (1611–1687), astronomer from Gdańsk, which was conducted irregularly between 1654 and 1686. The article discusses elements of the correspondence that supplement the present findings about biographies of both correspondents, including e.g. Hacki’s interests in music and Hevelius’s belief that positional astronomical instruments with telescopes should not be used. Moreover, it presents hitherto unknown circumstances of introducing the constellation of Scutum to honor the King John III and of dedicating to him a book by Hevelius.
PL
Artykuł przedstawia korespondencję opata oliwskiego Michała Antoniego Hackiego (ok. 1630–1703) z gdańskim astronomem Janem Heweliuszem (1611–1687), prowadzoną nieregularnie w latach 1654–1686. Omawia obecne w niej zagadnienia, które uzupełniają dotychczasowe ustalenia dotyczące biografii obu korespondentów, w tym m.in. zainteresowania Hackiego muzyką czy przekonanie Heweliusza o niesłuszności stosowania pozycyjnych instrumentów astronomicznych zaopatrzonych w lunety. Ponadto przedstawia nieznane dotychczas okoliczności wyznaczenia gwiazdozbioru Tarczy ku czci Jana III i dedykowania mu książki Heweliusza.
