Oameni iluștri ai Brăilei - Ștefan Hépites
Brave people of Brăila - Stefan Hépites

Summary/Abstract: This paper concerns the activity of Ştefan Hépites from Brăila and presents two medals received by him in France. The first medal has been received from the Astronomical Society in France, founded in 1887. The second medal has been received in 1889 from The French Scientific Association, founded in 1864. In our opinion, until the discovery of a documentary source, the year 1887 is most probable for Ştefan Hépites to receive the first medal, with the occasion of participating at the founding anniversary of the French Astronomical Society, and the second medal was received in 1889 at the München Conference, when Ştefan Hépites was elected as a member of the International Meteorology Comitee.
