Van Bruhesen, Peter (d. 1571)
Van Bruhesen, Peter (d. 1571)
A Dutch doctor and astrologer who died at Bruges. He published in that town in 1550 a Grand and Perpetual Almanack in which he scrupulously indicated by the tenets of judicial astrology the correct days for bathing, shaving, haircutting, and so forth. The work caused offense to a certain magistrate of Bruges, a barber by profession, with the result that there appeared against Bruhesen's volume another Grand and Perpetual Almanack, with the flippant subtitle a scourge for empirics and charlatans. This squib was published by a rival doctor François Rapaert, but Peter Haschaerts, a surgeon and protagonist of astrological science, warmly defended Bruhesen in his Astrological Buckler.
