The author, an instrument-maker and member of the Bavarian Academy of Science, credits his knowledge of binary notation to Johann Bernhard Wiedeburg’s Dissertatio mathematica (Jena 1718), itself based on publications of Leibniz and Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle. “Brander expressed the hope that [his] work on dyadics might serve the reader for recreational purposes, and perhaps even for keeping one’s personal accounts unintelligible to prying eyes” (Anton Glaser, History of binary and other nondecimal numeration, Los Angeles: Tomash Publishers, 1981, pp.65-66).
