John Napier
That was then, this is now, concentration of notables edition (2023-08-25)

A lot happened in the 1770s as well.  That above paragraph is from Julian Havil’s quite good John Napier: Life, Logarithms, and Legacy .  Napier of course also was obsessed with the Book of Revelation, in addition to being one of the discoverers of logarithms.
