By presenting Dr B.J. Szafarkiewicz, a well-known scientist of the second half of the 19th century, the present author set himself the goal of dealing with the view that Poles were not interested in natural sciences, and geological in particular, in the Grand Duchy of Poznań at that time. It was not allowed in the Prussian partition to found a university. Thus, there were no institutional and economic conditions for the development of geology. Only the establishment of the PTPN (Poznań Society of Friends of Learning) created a substitute for a scientific centre that also included mineralogical, palaeontological and geological sciences. However, except for R. May, no one had a geological background. Prominent representatives of other professions, suchas B.J. Szafarkiewicz and F. Chłapowski, and earth science enthusiasts tried to bring the benefits of studying and practicing geology to the society of Greater Poland. While F. Chłapowski is known and appreciated today, the memory of the pioneering, geological activity of B.J. Szafarkiewicz is becoming increasingly blurred.

The article refers to the 350th anniversary of the death of an outstanding educator, philosopher, theolo¬gian and politician Jan Amos Comenius who was active in the years 1628-1656, mainly in Leszno. This extremely versatile researcher also showed interest in natural science. Although he was not a pioneer in this field, the number of his works, the number of editions, as well as numerous translations into foreign languages contributed to the popularization of natural sciences, including Earth sciences. Unfortunately, few geologists have come across his achievements in this field.
