520			_aThis monograph presents a groundbreaking scholarly treatment of the Swiss mathematician Jost Bürgi's original work on logarithms. It provides the first-even English translation of Bürgi's text and illuminates his role in the development of the conception of logarithms, for which John Napier is traditionally given priority. high-resolution scans of each page of his handwritten text are reproduced for the reader and as a means of preserving an important work for which there are very few surviving copies.
