‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "NAPIER's life and work has been fairly well documented by his descendants Mark Napier, Memoirs of John Napier of Merchiston...", based on careful research of the private papers of the Napier family, is the source of most modern accounts". (DSB IX) ---- "John NAPIER, mathématicien écossais (1550/1617), est l'inventeur des logarithmes destinés à simplifier les calculs de trigonométrie sphérique alors essentiels pour l'astronomie et la navigation. Afin de substituer l'addition à la multiplication, il met en correspondance continue les termes d'une progression géométrique décroissante et ceux d'une progression arithmétique. Kepler et T.Brahe salueront sa découverte. Ses tables immédiatement reconnues avant même d'être recalculées par H. Briggs en base 10 serviront de base aux calculs ultérieurs"**6803/N5AR‎
