We merely sum up two outstanding results of Lohne’s research on Thomas Harriot (1560–1621), concerning the discovery of the sine law of light refraction and the calculation of the Mercator map, in order to stress the quality of his work and his critical mind

This also had an impact on the writing of the history of mathematics. An interesting testimony of this transition can be found in Alexander von Humboldt’s project on the origin and development of the
