Joost Bürgi. Born in Switzerland, Bürgi acquired considerable skills in mathematics and astronomical observations and computations. In 1579, he became clockmaker and instrument-maker at the Kassel observatory, the first to be fitted with a revolving dome. His early reputation as instrument-maker prompted an invitation to Prague from the ...
The book begins with a brief biography of Bürgi to familiarize readers with his life and work, as well as to offer an historical context in which to explore his contributions. The second chapter then describes the extant copies of the Arithmetische und Geometrische Progreß Tabulen, with a detailed description of the copy that is the focus of this book, the 1620 “Graz manuscript”.
