Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Walcher of Malvern, also known as Walcher of Lorraine or Doctor Walcher, was the second Prior of Malvern (in England) and a noted astronomer and mathematician.Walcher was from Lotharingia and came to England about 1091. He is noted for using an astrolabe to measure the time of several solar and lunar eclipses with an accuracy of about fifteen minutes. Using his early observations, he computed a set of tables giving the time of the new moons from 1036 through 1111, which he considered to be important for purposes of medical astrology. His later observations revealed significant errors in his tables, reflecting the limitations of early medieval astronomical theory.
