PETER OF DUISBURG (d. c. 1326), German chronicler, was born at Duisburg, and became a priest-brother of the Teutonic Order. He wrote the Chronicon lerrae Prnssiae, dedicated to the grand-master, Werner ff Orseln, which is one of the chief authorities for the history of the order in Prussia. There is a rhyming translation in German by Nicholas of Jeroschin, which, together with the original, is published in Bd. I. of the Scrzptores rerurn prussic arum (Leipzig, 1861). See M. Toppen, Geschichte der preusszschen Historiographie (Berlin, 1853), and W. Fuchs, Peler von Dursburg und das Chromcon olwense (Konigsberg, 1884).
