Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību
1598
Teoloģiski ētiskais, vēsturiskais traktāts “Par cilvēcisko lietu nepastāvību” iesākas ar veltījumu dažādiem Rīgas rātskungiem. Par savstarpējo apmaiņu ar laipnībām var uzskatīt Dāvida Hilhena vēstuli grāmatas autoram un savukārt Georga Cīglera sacerēto dzeju par godu D. Hilhenam. G. Cīglers nopublicējis savā grāmatā arī Rostokas zinātnieka, vēsturnieka Dāvida Hitreja vēstuli autoram. Hitrejs raksta, ka neraugoties uz redzes problēmām, esot iepazinies ar G. Cīglera grāmatu (grāmata iznāca 1598 un 1599 gadā).

Then I attempt to justify the particular selection I made of the manuscripts which I finally decided to study, reconstruct and publish. Such an explanation seems to be advisable given the great amount of Godel’s material unpublished but still extant. Also, I describe some of the historical details relevant to understan…
Pulling Harriot Out of Newton’s Shadow: How the Norwegian Outsider Johannes Lohne Came to Contribute to Mainstream History of Mathematics
2016
The focus of this paper is on the peculiarities of Lohne ’s “outsider approach” to the historiography of mathematics and physics. The main thesis is that the circumstances of Lohne ’s outsider position both narrowed down and sharpened the focus of his research, but that he succeeded because he joined the then rising tide of archival based and content oriented internalist research in the history of physics and mathematics and because he was supported by scholars such as D.T. Whiteside and J.E. Hofmann , whose connections to the international community were better than his own. The main conclusions are based on Lohne ’s Nachlass in Oslo and on some other archival sources. In addition Lohne ’s…
