Nomenclature

Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, Marquis de Condorcet (September 17, 1743 – March 28, 1794) was a French philosopher, mathematician, and early political scientist.

Nic Parthenius?

The crater now known as Condorcet could have been Melchior a Briga's Nic Parthenius (see the location of the capital omega (Nic Parthenius) on Melchior a Briga's map of 1747; pages 90-91 in E.A.Whitaker's Mapping and Naming the Moon). - DannyCaes Feb 20, 2016
