Hi Darek,

A search of the British and Bodleian Libraries does not show any of these so I 
suspect that because they were presentations at an International Conferences, 
the individual contributions might not have been regarded as true 
‘publications’ recorded under the names of the various presenters.  This was 
and still is, quite a common practice at Scientific Meetings.

A list of many of the “PUBLICATIONS - Académie Internationale d'Histoire des 
Sciences” can be found as a PDF at: 

http://www.aihs-iahs.org/en/system/files/2011-10-publications-iahs-en.pdf

I am unsure if the entries quite match your references though.  The document 
mentions (See Entry 6.) the VI-e Congres as being in Amsterdam in 1950 (Not 
Florence in 1956, as your reference suggests). However entry 15. does seem to 
confirm that the X-e Congres was held at Ithaca (USA) in 1962.

A little further down it suggests that copies may be available from the 
publishers and gives several names for these.  I hope you might be able to take 
things a little further with this information.

Regards

Patrick

Subject: Works of Tadeusz Przypkowski wanted

Dear Friends

I am looking for two articles by Tadeusz Przypkowski:

1. The gnomonics of Nicolas Copernicus and of G J Rheticus, Actes du VI-e 
Congrès International d'Histoire des Sciences, Pages 400-409. Florence 1956.
2. Gnomonics of John Hevelius, Actes de Xe Congres International d’Histoire des 
Sciences, II, pp 695-697, Ithaca, 1962.

Does anyone have them? This Polish gnomonist Tadeusz Przypkowski wrote the 
articles in English or French (I am not sure) but ironicly not in Polish so 
they are not available in my country. Well, to some high level scientist they 
may but not to ordinary people like myself. These articles are quoted 
everywhere but nobody can read them. 

Please help me reach them - all I want is to translate Przypkowski's warks into 
Polish and pass the knowledge to the other sundial enthusiasts.
