Walcher of Malvern (died 1135) (also known as Walcher of Lorraine) was the second Prior of Great Malvern Priory in Worcestershire, England, and a noted astronomer, astrologer and mathematician. He has been described as an important transitional figure, whose observations and writings reflected the transformation of the astronomy of the Latin West from its traditional focus on computing dates in the ecclesiastical calendar and studying the rudiments of Roman astronomy to the use of ancient astronomical computational methods learned from Arabic zijes and other Islamic sources.

  • Walcherio da Malvern, altrimenti noto come Walcherio di Lorena o Dottor Walcherio (... – ...; fl. XI secolo), è stato un astronomo, astrologo e matematico britannico.Fu il secondo Priore di Malvern (in Inghilterra). Le sue ultime osservazioni rivelarono errori significativi nelle sue tabelle, che riflettono le limitazioni delle prime teorie astronomiche d'età medievale. La lapide tombale di Walcherio nella chiesa del Priorato di Malvern sottolinea le sue capacità di "abile astrologo e matematico". Come responsabile del Priorato esercitò una notevole influenza nella contea del Worcestershire. (it)
