Correspondence with Peter Cruger
By (author) Johannes Hevelius By (author) Peter Cruger Edited by Michal Choptiany
This volume brings together a study and a critical edition and English translation of correspondence between Johannes Hevelius and his teacher at Gymnasium Academicum in Gdansk, Peter Cruger (1580-1639). This relatively small collection of letters, all of them written during Hevelius’s academic trip to Leiden, Paris and London between 1630 and 1632, sheds light on the formation of young astronomer’s scholarly workshop and documents the process of shaping of his future scientific interests. A study of this epistolary exchange provides new light on the working methods and development of ideas of Peter Cruger, a relatively understudied figure on the map of the seventeenth-century Republic of Letters, whose activity at Gdansk Gymnasium was crucial for the rise of both, theoretical and practical astronomy in this intellectual centre.
