Abstract
SUMMARY. — The still unpublished correspondence of Hevelius, astronomer of Gdansk, shows how he sought patrons and found them in the Courts of Poland and France. More specifically, the relations of Hevelius with French scientists, with Gaston d'Orléans and later with Colbert and Louis XIV are discussed. Hevelius dedicated his Cometographia to Colbert and his Machinae coelestis Pars prior to Louis XIV who awarded him a pension from 1663 to 1671 and later a grant in 1679.Keywords
