Peter of Dusburg

Peter of Dusburg (German: Peter von Dusburg; Latin: Petrus de Dusburg; died after 1326), also known as Peter of Duisburg, was a Priest-Brother and chronicler of the Teutonic Knights.

[1] In 1324, probably while in Königsberg,[2] Peter began working on his Chronicon terrae Prussiae on behalf of Grand Master Werner von Orseln.

By 1326, he had finished expanding upon the now-lost work of a Latinist who had written about the campaigns of the early Prussian Crusade.

[2] That version was subsequently revised to include events up to 1330.

In 1331-1335, Nikolaus von Jeroschin translated Peter's chronicle into Middle High German on behalf of Grand Master Luther von Braunschweig.
