The paper includes English translations (together with original Latin versions) of three papers of Adam Adamandy Kochański (1631-1700), originally published in Acta Eruditorum in 1682 (“Solutio theorematum”), 1685 (“Observationes cyclometricae”), and 1686 (“Considerationes quaedam”). The translation is as faithful as possible, often literal, and it is mainly intended to be of help to those who wish to study the original Latin text. The papers have been annotated in a number of places, giving more information about names, places and terms which may not be familiar to the contemporary reader. Misprints present in the original edition are indicated, with corrections included in footnotes. A brief introduction oulining the contect of the papers is included. “Solutio theorematum” is followed by an appendix containing all quotes from “Elements” necessary to understand proofs given by Kochański.
