Henry Bate or Hendrik Baten (of Mechelen or of Malines) a.k.a. Henricus Batenus (Mechliniensis) (Mechelen 24 March 1246 – Tongerloo after 1310) was a Flemish philosopher, theologian, astronomer, astrologer, poet, and musician. As astronomer, he made astrolabes, and wrote Magistralis compositio astrolabii, dedicated to his friend William of Moerbeke. He drew up astronomical tables: the Tabule Mechlinenses, from around 1285-1295. 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).
