The correspondence with Stanisław Lubieniecki (1623–1675) is the fourth most voluminous in the corpus of letters of Johannes Hevelius (1611–1687) – there are over ninety letters they wrote to each other between 1664 and 1673. 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.

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.

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.
