Johannes Stadius, also called Estadius, born Jan Van Ostaeyen at Loenhout in the Duchy of Brabant on 1 May 1527 and dead on 17 June 1579, was a Flemish astronomer, astrologer and mathematician, one of the important late sixteenth-century makers of ephemerides, which give the positions of astronomical objects at given times. He was educated at the Latin school of Brecht, studied mathematics, geography and history at the Old University of Leuven, where one of his teachers was Gemma Frisius, and became a professor of mathematics there. In 1554 he left for Turin under the patronage of the Duke of Savoy, then worked in Cologne, Brussels and Paris, where he debated the trigonometrist Maurice Bressieu and made astrological predictions for the French court. In his Tabulae Bergenses of 1560 he calls himself royal mathematician of Philip II of Spain and mathematician to the Duke of Savoy.
