However,in the same year the works of two other authors: another Piarist Samuel Chróścikowskiand one Pasquale de Petra were published in Rome. These works had thesame title and, what is particularly astonishing, their content was exactly identicalwith that of the previously mentioned work of Syruć. The article tries to clarify thispuzzling issue. It is suggested that the works of Syruć, Chróścikowski and Pasqualede Petra could have been a result of some public examination involving many graduates.In the eighteenth century, public examinations carried out in the religiouscolleges, were common form of demonstrating acquired knowledge and skills.}, type={Text}, title={Syruć or Chróścikowski? : around the issue of the first Polish authorof the publication on the differential and integral calculus}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/232351/PDF/2-Rodzen.pdf}, keywords={mathematics - history - Poland 18th c., differential calculus, integral calculus, Piarist Order, Bernard Syruć, Samuel Chróścikowski}, }
