The [http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/schickrd.html Galileo Project] credits him as primarily a cartographer; however, like many another Renaissance man, Schickard was skilled and brilliant in many fields. He was a Lutheran minister who taught biblical languages, such as Aramaic as well as Hebrew, at the [http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/ University of Tübingen], and was later appointed professor of astronomy at the same university. According to his biography on the [http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Schickard.html History of Mathematics] site, "his research included astronomy, mathematics and surveying. Among his other skills, Schickard was renowned as an engraver both in wood and in copperplate. He invented many machines like one to calculate astronomical dates and one for Hebrew grammar. He also made significant advances in mapmaking, showing how to produce maps which were far more accurate than those which were currently available. Long before [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Pascal Pascal] and [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Leibnitz Leibniz], Schickard invented a calculating machine in 1623 which was used by [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Kepler Kepler].

Its border, to a great extent linear, is very irregular, and much broken by the interposition of small ring-plains and craters, and on the N. by cross-valleys. Its general height is about 4,000 feet, the loftiest peak on the E. wall rising to more than 9,000 feet above the floor. The inner slopes of this vast rampart are very complex, especially on the W., where many terraces and depressions may be seen under suitable illumination. There are three large ring-plains in the interior, all of them S. of the centre; and at least five smaller ones near the inner foot of the W. wall, which can only be well observed when libration is favourable. The two more westerly of the large ring-plains are connected by a cleft, and there are several short clefts and crater-rows associated with the smaller ring-plains. On the N. side of the area is a number of minute craters. The floor is diversified by two large dark markings--an oblong patch on the S.E. side, abutting on the wall, being the more remarkable; and a dusky area, occupying a great portion of the N. part of the floor, and extending up to the N. border.

The [http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/schickrd.html Galileo Project] credits him as primarily a cartographer; however, like many another Renaissance man, Schickard was skilled and brilliant in many fields.

According to his biography on the [http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Schickard.html History of Mathematics] site, "his research included astronomy, mathematics and surveying.

Its border, to a great extent linear, is very irregular, and much broken by the interposition of small ring-plains and craters, and on the N. by cross-valleys. Its general height is about 4,000 feet, the loftiest peak on the E. wall rising to more than 9,000 feet above the floor. The inner slopes of this vast rampart are very complex, especially on the W., where many terraces and depressions may be seen under suitable illumination. There are three large ring-plains in the interior, all of them S. of the centre; and at least five smaller ones near the inner foot of the W. wall, which can only be well observed when libration is favourable. The two more westerly of the large ring-plains are connected by a cleft, and there are several short clefts and crater-rows associated with the smaller ring-plains. On the N. side of the area is a number of minute craters. The floor is diversified by two large dark markings--an oblong patch on the S.E. side, abutting on the wall, being the more remarkable; and a dusky area, occupying a great portion of the N. part of the floor, and extending up to the N. border.

''([http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions])'' SCHICKARD.--One of the largest wall-surrounded plains on the visible surface of the moon, extending about 134 miles from N. to S., and about the same from W. to E., enclosing a nearly level area, abounding in detail. Its border, to a great extent linear, is very irregular, and much broken by the interposition of small ring-plains and craters, and on the N. by cross-valleys. Its general height is about 4,000 feet, the loftiest peak on the E. wall rising to more than 9,000 feet above the floor. The inner slopes of this vast rampart are very complex, especially on the W., where many terraces and depressions may be seen under suitable illumination. There are three large ring-plains in the interior, all of them S. of the centre; and at least five smaller ones near the inner foot of the W. wall, which can only be well observed when libration is favourable. The two more westerly of the large ring-plains are connected by a cleft, and there are several short clefts and crater-rows associated with the smaller ring-plains. On the N. side of the area is a number of minute craters. The floor is diversified by two large dark markings--an oblong patch on the S.E. side, abutting on the wall, being the more remarkable; and a dusky area, occupying a great portion of the N. part of the floor, and extending up to the N. border. This is traversed by a light streak running from N. to S., which is the site of a row of minute craters.<br /> <br /> <br />

* "We may instance here Patrick Moore's observation of 2nd August 1939, when the internal detail of '''Schickard''' was obliterated by an extensive mist. On 31st August 1944 the floor of the great walled plain looked misty to H.P.Wilkins and some minor craters in it, which are normally well shadowed, stood out as white spots under a low sun".

==Nomenclature==<br />
<br />
* Named for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Schickard Wilhelm Schickard] (April 22, 1592 – October 23, 1635), a German polymath who built the first computer in 1623, the "[http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/schickard.html speeding clock]". The [http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/schickrd.html Galileo Project] credits him as primarily a cartographer; however, like many another Renaissance man, Schickard was skilled and brilliant in many fields. He was a Lutheran minister who taught biblical languages, such as Aramaic as well as Hebrew, at the [http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/ University of Tübingen], and was later appointed professor of astronomy at the same university. According to his biography on the [http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Schickard.html History of Mathematics] site, "his research included astronomy, mathematics and surveying. Among his other skills, Schickard was renowned as an engraver both in wood and in copperplate. He invented many machines like one to calculate astronomical dates and one for Hebrew grammar. He also made significant advances in mapmaking, showing how to produce maps which were far more accurate than those which were currently available. Long before [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Pascal Pascal] and [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Leibnitz Leibniz], Schickard invented a calculating machine in 1623 which was used by [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Kepler Kepler]. He wrote to [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Kepler Kepler] suggesting a mechanical means to calculate ephemerides. Schickard corresponded with many scientists including [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Bullialdus Boulliau], [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Gassendi Gassendi] and [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Kepler Kepler]." Fragments from two of Schickard’s letters to [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Kepler Kepler] can be seen on the [http://www.thocp.net/biographies/schickard_wilhelm.html History of Computing] project's website (which copies the ''History of Math'' biography without credit).

* According to [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 214) this name was introduced by [http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Riccioli Riccioli] with the spelling '''Schikardus'''. Exactly when, and by whom, it was changed to the modern form is not explained. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br />
