'''Heinrich'''{{source?|date=August 2013|see source request for "German". H.B. is more commonly referred to as 'Hendrik' (Dutch and the language of his home town, also the most likely language of his family name [Ba(e)tens and Baeten still occur in Mechelen]) and as Henri (French) and even as Henry. It seems the stub was created from a German source and one simply assumed that forename and even 'nationality' by not realizing that Dutch and German may not be identical languages while not even having heard of present-day 'Flanders'. See also WP-nl article 'Hendrik Bate van Mechelen'}} '''Baten''' or '''Bate''' ([[floruit|fl.]] late 13th century) was a [[Germany|German]]{{source?|date=August 2013|Mechelen is in present-day Belgium, thus no link to Germany; it might once have belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, for the ruler of which only the English invented the name 'German King'. H.B. studied in Paris and at least some of his astronomical papers were published in Brussels.}} [[astronomer]]. |

Baten was from [[Mechelen]], and is known almost entirely for a 1290 work of his, ''De erroribus tabularum Alphonsi'', which pointed out errors in the [[Alfonsine tables]]. He also may have written on the [[astrolabe]], as a work was published in [[Venice]] in 1458 entitled ''De nativitatibus et magistralis compositio astrolabii Henrici Bate''. There is another extant manuscript bearing his name, ''Speculum divinorum et naturalium quorundam'', but it is unsettled whether it is by this Baten or by another person with the same name. |
