Abstract

READERS of J. Henderson's bibliography of logarithmic tables (“Tracts for Computers”, No. 13, Cambridge, 1926) will be aware of the interest attached to Ezechiel de Decker's “Tweede Deel vande Nieuwe Tel-konst” (Gouda, 1627), in which was first published the important de Decker-Vlacq table of 10-decimal logarithms of numbers from 1 to 100,000. After the existence of this work had been doubted by many authorities, a complete copy was found at Utrecht by van Haaften in 1920.
