Biography
Biography
He was a pupil of Thomas Aquinas, he became a canon and cantor of the Cathedral of Saint-Lambert, Liège before 1289. He drew up astronomical tables: the Tabule Mechlinenses, from around 1285–1295, and a 1290 work, De erroribus tabularum Alphonsi, which pointed out errors in the Alfonsine tables. While in Rome in 1292, he wrote commentaries on the astrological works of Abraham ibn Ezra and Albumasar. He became tutor to Guy de Hainaut, brother of Count Jean d'Avesnes, for whom he wrote, between 1285 and 1305, a Speculum divinorum et quorundam naturalium (On the Unity of Natural). Around 1309, he retired with the Premonstratensians of Tongerloo, where he ended his days.

- 1.Het naamgebruik door bronnen in vijf talen op het internet werd nagekeken. In alle vijf konden voornaam en familienaam voorkomen al dan niet aan zijn geboorteplaats gekoppeld; opvallend is dat buiten het Nederlands en slechts zelden in het Latijn, ook veelvuldig zijn voornaam met zijn herkomst gevonden wordt zonder familienaam. In zijn eigen taal en in het Duits is deze laatste Baten ofwel Bate; in het Frans en het Engels komt vrijwel uitsluitend Bate voor. Aldus vindt men respectievelijk Hendrik Bate[n] [van Mechelen], Heinrich [Bate[n] von Mecheln, Henri [Bate] de Malines, en Henry [Bate] of Mechelen hoewel in Engelstalige teksten de plaatsnaam net zo geregeld met de uit het Frans gekende naam voorkomt: of Malines (en in het Duits zelden de Malines en een enkele keer von Malines). In gelijk welke taal kan de gelatiniseerde naam staan, Henricus Batenus [Mechliniensis].
