Abstract:
This paper is mainly concerned with the work of Henry Briggs who left us a masterpiece in numerical calculus: the Arithmetica Logarithmica. We will also consider Kepler's attempt to rephrase Napier's theory in a Euclidean frame and we will mention Juan Caramuel who tried to reconcile Napier's and Briggs's logarithms and proposed a systema of musical logarithms
