Valentin Naboth, also spelled Valentine Naibod or Nabod and known by the Latinised name Valentinus Nabodus, born on 13 February 1523 in Calau in Niederlausitz and dead on 3 March 1593, was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer from a formerly Jewish family, the younger brother of the Lutheran theologian Alexius Naboth. He matriculated at the University of Wittenberg in 1544, when Philipp Melanchthon, Erasmus Reinhold, Johannes Bugenhagen, Paul Eber and Georg Major taught there, and transferred to Erfurt in 1550. Although he had not yet completed a master's degree, the faculty council turned its mathematics courses over to him at the meeting of 16 August 1551, and from then on he taught mathematics and the introductory astronomy course, the Sphaera materialis.
