Albert de Brudzewo
Albert Blar von Brudzewo ( Polish Wojciech Brudzewski , lat. De Brudzewo ) (* 1445 in Brudzewo near Kalisz , † 1497 in Vilnius ) was a Polish astronomer and mathematician .
Albert Blar de Brudzewo was trained at the Charles University in Prague and taught as a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow for twenty years . His study material was Peuerbach's theory of the planets and Regiomontanus ' astronomical tables . Blar gave his last astronomical courses in Krakow in 1490 . His most prominent student was the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus , who began his studies after 1490, at a time when Blar only taught Aristotle . It is considered possible that Copernicus had private discussions with Blar, as Blar was in close contact with the students as the head of the student dormitory known as Bursa Hungarorum .
Albert Blar left Kraków in 1494 and went to Vilnius as secretary to Grand Duke Alexander of Lithuania , who later became King of Poland .
