Johannes Lichtenberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johannes Lichtenberger[1] (d. 1503)[2] was a noted German astrologer. He was much published, and various pseudonyms are attributed to him.[3] His 1488 Pronosticatio in latino, published at Heidelberg, was well known and appeared in numerous subsequent editions and translations.
He seems to have been, briefly in the early 1470s, court astrologer to the Emperor Henry III.
