Petrus Astronomus, O.Ss.S., (died after 1513), a German by birth, was a Bridgettine monk in Vadstena Abbey, Vadstena, Sweden. In 1506, he created an astronomical clock for the Uppsala Cathedral, which, in addition to the hours and minutes of the day, also illustrated the moon phase and the movements of the planets. The clock was repaired by Christopher Polhem in the 17th century but destroyed in a fire in 1702. He first appears by name as a lecturer in astronomy at Uppsala University, where between 1508 and 1509 he conducted a series of lectures.

  • Petrus Astronomus, O.Ss.S., (died after 1513), a German by birth, was a Bridgettine monk in Vadstena Abbey, Vadstena, Sweden. In 1506, he created an astronomical clock for the Uppsala Cathedral, which, in addition to the hours and minutes of the day, also illustrated the moon phase and the movements of the planets. The clock was repaired by Christopher Polhem in the 17th century but destroyed in a fire in 1702. He first appears by name as a lecturer in astronomy at Uppsala University, where between 1508 and 1509 he conducted a series of lectures. He is sometimes erroneously confused for Conrad Dasypodius who constructed the astronomic clockwork in the Strassbourg cathedral. (en)
  • Petrus Astronomus est un moine du monastère de Vadstena, en Suède qui construisit en 1506 une horloge astronomique pour la cathédrale d'Uppsala. Cet instrument, outre les heures et les minutes, marquait aussi les phases de la Lune et la position des planètes. Il fut réparé un siècle plus tard par Christopher Polhem mais disparut dans l'incendie de la cathédrale en 1702. Entre 1508 et 1509, Petrus Astronomicus donna une série de conférences d'astronomie à Uppsala. On le confond parfois avec Conrad Dasypodius qui fabriqua, lui, l'horloge astronomique de la cathédrale de Strasbourg. (fr)
  • Petrus Astronomus (Peter astronomen) död efter 1513, var en tysk-svensk katolsk birgittinermunk i Vadstena kloster och astronomilärare vid Uppsala universitet. Astronomus konstruerade ett berömt astronomiskt ur till Uppsala domkyrka. Petrus har av senare författare ibland felaktigt benämnts Dasypodius, troligen som en sammanblandning med Conrad Dasypodius (cirka 1531–1600), som konstruerade ett liknande astronomiskt ur till katedralen i Strasbourg.
