=== Teaching === Brudzewski is also remembered as a remarkable teacher. [[Filippo Buonaccorsi]] (Callimachus) wrote in a letter:<ref name=":7" /> {{Quote|text=Everything created by the keen perceptions of [[Euclid|Euclides]] and [[Ptolemy|Ptolemaeus]], [Brudzewski] made a part of his intellectual property. All that remained deeply hidden to lay eyes, he knew how to set before the eyes of his pupils}} At the Kraków Academy he impressed students by his extraordinary knowledge of literature, and taught mathematics and astronomy.<ref name=":3">{{cite journal |last=Mizwa |first=Stephen P. |date=1943 |title=Nicholas Copernicus |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40669774?seq=3 |journal=Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific |volume=55 |issue=323 |pages=65–72 |issn=0004-6280}}</ref> From 1489 to 1491, German poet and [[Renaissance humanist]], [[Conrad Celtes]] traveled to Poland to meet and learn astrology from Brudzewski.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> They became friends and exchanged letters even after Celtes departure.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Brudzewski lectured on arithmetic, optics, Peuerbach astronomy and [[Mashallah ibn Athari]] works.<ref name=":7" /> In 1490, he earned a bachelor in theology,<ref name=":7" /> and from then onwards he lectured only on [[Aristotle]]'s philosophy and his work [[On the Heavens|''On the Heavens'']].<ref name=":5" /> These lectures were attended by [[Nicolaus Copernicus#Education|Nicolaus Copernicus]], who enrolled at the academy from 1491 to 1495.<ref name=":3" /> It is possible that Brudzewski also discussed other topics with Copernicus privately.<ref name=":7" /> Cartographer and friend of Copernicus [[Bernard Wapowski]] also studied under Brudzewski.<ref name=":3" />
