Prussian Tables; Prutenicae Tabulae; Prussian tables; Prutenic tables
The Prutenic Tables ( from Prutenia meaning "Prussia", ), were an ephemeris (astronomical tables) by the astronomer Erasmus Reinhold published in 1551 (reprinted in 1562, 1571 & 1585). They are sometimes called the Prussian Tables after Albert I, Duke of Prussia, who supported Reinhold and financed the printing.
