Jost Bürgi (also Joost, Jobst; Latinized surname Burgius or Byrgius; 28 February 1552 – 31 January 1632), active primarily at the courts in Kassel and Prague, was a Swiss clockmaker, a maker of astronomical instruments and a mathematician.
González-Velasco stated that “for the sake of fairness that the earliest discoverer of logarithms was Joost, or Jobst, Bürgi (1552–1632), a Swiss clockmaker, about 1588” (p. 100). As was the case with Bürgi, Napier began working on his conception of logarithms some years before his first publication in 1614.
