Wareh: /* Details */ wording/usage

The '''touch-move rule''' in [[chess]] specifies that, if a player deliberately touches a [[Chess piece|piece]] on the [[chessboard|board]] when it is their turn to move, then the player must move or capture that piece if it is legal to do so. If it is the player's piece that was touched, it must be moved if it has a legal move. If the opponent's piece was touched, it must be captured if it can be captured with a legal move. This is a [[rules of chess|rule of chess]] that is enforced in all games played in [[Glossary of chess#Over-the-board (OTB)|over-the-board]] competitions. The player claiming a touch-move violation must do so before making a move.

If a player wants to adjust a piece on its square without being required to move it, the player can announce ''j’adoube'' ("I adjust") before touching the piece {{harvcol|Hooper|Whyld|1992|p=425}}. A player may not touch the pieces on the board while it is their opponent's turn.

There is [[rules of chess#Act of moving the pieces|a separate rule]] that a player who lets go of a piece after making a legal move cannot retract the move.
{{algebraic notation|pos=toc}}

==Details==
If a player having the move deliberately touches one of their pieces, they must move it if it can be legally moved. So long as the hand has not left the piece on a new square, the latter can be placed on any accessible square. Accidentally touching a piece, e.g. brushing against it while reaching for another piece, does not count as a deliberate touch.

If a player touches a hostile piece, then they must capture it if the piece can be captured. If a player touches one of his pieces and an opponent's piece, they must make that capture if it is a legal move. Otherwise, they are required to move or capture the first of the pieces that they touched. If it cannot be determined whether they touched their own piece or the opponent's piece first, it is assumed that he touched his own piece first. If a player touches more than one piece, they must move or capture the first piece that can be legally moved or captured. An exception to that is an attempted illegal [[castling]]; in that case the [[King (chess)|king]] must be moved if possible, but otherwise there is no requirement to move the [[Rook (chess)|rook]].

When castling, the king must be the first piece touched. If the player touches his rook at the same time as touching the king, the player must castle with that rook if it is legal to do so. If the player completes a two-square king move without touching a rook, the player must move the correct rook accordingly if castling in that direction is legal. Otherwise, the move must be withdrawn and another king move made.

When a [[Pawn (chess)|pawn]] is moved to its eighth {{chessgloss|rank}}, once the player takes his hand off the pawn, a different move of the pawn can no longer be substituted. However, the move is not complete until the [[Promotion (chess)|promoted]] piece is released on that square {{harvcol|Just|Burg|2003|pp=20–23}}.

In the diagram at left, from a game between future [[World Chess Champion|World Champion]] [[Bobby Fischer]] and [[Jan Hein Donner]], White had a probably winning advantage; Black had just moved 29...Qg5–f5 and White fell for a [[Swindle (chess)|swindle]].<ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044239 Fischer vs. Donner, Santa Monica 1966]</ref> Fischer touched his [[Bishop (chess)|bishop]], intending to move 30.Bd3, which seems like a natural move, but then realized that Black could play 30...Rxc2, and after 31.Bxf5 Rc1 32.Qxc1 Bxc1, the game would be a [[draw (chess)|draw]], because of the [[opposite-colored bishops endgame]]. After touching the bishop, he realized that 30.Bd3 was a bad move, but since he was obligated to move the bishop, and other bishop moves were even worse, after several seconds he played 30.Bd3. The [[Queen (chess)|queens]] and rooks were exchanged (as above) and a [[draw by agreement]] was reached after the 34th move. Had Fischer won the game, he would have tied with [[Boris Spassky]] for first place in the 1966 [[Piatigorsky Cup]] tournament {{harvcol|Kashdan|1968|pp=49–50}}.

The touch-move rule produced an even more disastrous result for Fischer in his game as [[White and Black in chess|Black]] against [[Wolfgang Unzicker]] at Buenos Aires 1960.<ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044529 Unzicker vs. Fischer, Buenos Aires 1960]</ref> In the position diagrammed at right, Fischer touched his h-pawn, intending to play 12...h6. He then realized that, because of the [[pin (chess)|pin]] on the g-[[file (chess)|file]], [[White and Black in chess|White]] could simply play 13.Bxh6; 13...gxh6 would be illegal, since it would put Black's king in [[Check (chess)|check]] by White's queen. Having touched his h-pawn, the touch-move rule required Fischer to play either 12...h6[[Chess punctuation#.3F.3F: Blunder|??]] or 12...h5??, an almost equally bad move that fatally weakens Black's [[Glossary of chess#Kingside|kingside]]. Fischer accordingly played 12...h5?? and [[resign (chess)|resigned]] just ten moves later—his shortest loss ever in a serious game {{harvcol|Mednis|1997|pp=110–11}}.

But by the time he looked at the position he had already touched his king's bishop, intending 5...Be7 in reply to the usual 5.d4, not noticing that White actually played 5.d3 (attacking the black knight). Now compelled to move the bishop, he would lose the knight, so resigned immediately {{harvcol|Chernev|Reinfeld|1949|p=111}}.

==Adjusting pieces==
If a player wishes to adjust the pieces on their squares without being required to move or capture the piece, the player can announce ''j’adoube'' {{IPA-fr|ʒaˈdub|}}, ({{lang-fr|I adjust}}), or words to that effect in other languages. ''J’adoube'' is internationally recognised by chess players as announcing the intent to make incidental contact with their pieces.

The phrase is used to give warning from a player to their opponent that the player is about to touch a piece on the board, typically to centralise it on its square, without the intent of making a move with it. Although this French term is customary, it is not obligatory; other similar indications may be used.<ref name="adjust">[https://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=124&view=article FIDE Laws of Chess] Article 4.2</ref> A player may adjust a piece in this way only when it is his turn to move.<ref>[https://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=124&view=article FIDE Laws of Chess] Article 12.6 and 4.2</ref>

===Example of misuse===
There have been occasions in chess history when a player has uttered ''j’adoube'' after making a losing move in order to retract it, thus attempting to avoid the touch-move rule. Such behaviour is regarded as cheating (see [[cheating in chess]]). The Yugoslav [[Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]] [[Milan Matulović]] was nicknamed "J’adoubovic" after such an incident {{harvcol|Hooper|Whyld|1992|pp=185,252}} {{harvcol|Lombardy|Daniels|1975|p=104}}.

}}
The touch-move rule has existed for centuries. In the Middle Ages strict rules were considered necessary because chess was played for stakes. [[Luis Ramirez de Lucena]] gave the rule in his 1497 book ''Arte de Axdres'' {{harvcol|Sunnucks|1970|p=462}}. [[Benjamin Franklin]] referred to it in his 1786 essay ''[[The morals of chess]]'' {{harvcol|Truzzi|1974|p=14}}.<ref>Franklin wrote in his essay, first published in the ''Columbian Magazine'' in [[Philadelphia]], that one of the "laws of the game" was that "if you touch a piece, you must move it somewhere; if you set it down, you must let it stand."</ref> At one time the rule also required the player who played an illegal move to move his king. In the first half of the nineteenth century, Rule XIII of the London Chess Club provided: <blockquote>If a player make a false move, ''i.e.'', play a Piece or Pawn to any square to which it cannot legally be moved, his adversary has the choice of three penalties; viz., 1st, of compelling him to let the Piece or Pawn remain on the square to which he played it; 2nd, to move correctly to another square; 3rd, to replace the Piece or Pawn and move his King. {{harvcol|Staunton|1848|p=37}} {{harvcol|Marache|1866|p=24}}</blockquote> While this rule existed, it occasionally led to [[tragicomedy|tragicomedies]] such as in the 1893 game between Lindermann and Echtermeyer, at [[Kiel]].<ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1242985 Lindemann vs. Echtermeyer, Kiel 1893]</ref> In that game, after 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 White, probably intending the usual 3.Nc3, instead placed his queen's bishop on c3. Since that move was illegal, White was compelled to instead move his king. After the forced 3.Ke2??, Black gave [[checkmate]] with 3...Qe4# {{harvcol|Chernev|1974|p=119}}.

In England, the 1862 laws of the [[British Chess Association]] rejected the above rule. The Association's Law VII provided instead that if a player made an illegal move, "he must, at the choice of the opponent, and according to the case, either move his own man legally, capture the man legally, or move any other man legally moveable." {{harvcol|Gossip|Lipschütz|1902|p=31}} {{harvcol|Steinitz|1889|p=xxi}}.<ref>Steinitz, unlike Gossip and Lipschütz, did not give a specific date for the Laws of Chess that he set forth, but wrote, "We approve in the main of the Code of Laws of the British Chess Association, which has been adopted in many Chess Congresses." Steinitz, p. xx.</ref> The German [[chess master]] [[Siegbert Tarrasch]] wrote in ''The Game of Chess'' (originally published in 1931 as ''Das Schachspiel'') that the former rule requiring a player who made an illegal move to move his king had only been changed a few years earlier {{harvcol|Tarrasch|1938|p=37}}.<ref>Tarrasch wrote, "If a player makes a move not permitted by the rules of the game or if he touches either an enemy man which cannot be taken or one of his own which cannot be moved then until recently there was a rule that as a penalty he must move his King (but not castle). ... This rule was altered a few years ago—and rightly so." Tarrasch, p. 37.</ref>

The '''Birthhouse of Anton Chekhov''' is the place in [[Taganrog]], [[Russia]], where the famous writer [[Anton Chekhov]] was born. It is now a museum.

The outbuilding on the territory of a property on Chekhov Street (formerly Kupecheskaya Street, later Alexandrovskaya Street, and renamed in honor of Chekhov in 1904, soon after his death) in Taganrog was built in 1859 of [[wattle and daub]], plastered and whitened. The area taken up by the small outbuilding is 30.5 sq. meters. The house and grounds were owned by the merchant Gnutov in 1860, and by the petit bourgeois Kovalenko in 1880-1915.

Pavel Yegorovich Chekhov and his family (his wife Yevgeniya Yakovlevna and their two sons - 4-year-old Alexander Chekhov and 2-year-old Nikolay Chekhov) rented the outbuilding in December 1859. Anton Chekhov was born in this house on January 17, 1860.

In March, 1861, Pavel Yegorovich Chekhov and his family moved into another apartment.

In 1910, a memorial plate was placed on the birthhouse of Chekhov thanks to the initiative of the Chekhov Circle in Taganrog, formed by the writer [[Yevgeny Garshin]] in 1905.

In 1916, the Taganrog City Council supported the initiative of the Chekhov Circle and acquired the house and grounds on Chekhov Street 69 to conserve the birthhouse of [[Anton Chekhov]].

In December 1920, the house was freed from all tenants, and a renovation followed in 1921. In 1924, the first exhibition telling of the writer's youth was opened.

In 1935 [[Maria Chekhova]] and [[Olga Knipper]] came to visit the home city of Chekhov, Taganrog, to participate at the events commemorating the 75th anniversary of Anton Chekhov's birth. Within the framework of the visit, Maria Chekhova presented to the Taganrog memorial museum several Anton Chekhov or Chekhov family memorabilia.

As part of the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Chekhov's birth, Russian President [[Dmitri Medvedev]] visited the Birth House memorial museum on Jan. 29, 2010.<ref>[http://taganrogcity.com/president_medvedev_taganrog.html The President of Russian Federation Dmitri Medvedev participated in celebrating the 150th anniversary of the great Russian writer Anton Chekhov in the writer's home city of Taganrog.]</ref>

Zwischendominante

2011-08-28T17:42:42Z

Wareh: +interwiki

'''Zwischendominanten''' oder auch Sekundärdominanten sind [[Akkord]]e mit [[Dominante|dominantischem]] Charakter, die sich in einen von der [[Tonika]] verschiedenen Klang auflösen.

Sie werden verwendet, um eine [[Modulation (Musik)|Modulation]] oder [[Ausweichung]] einzuleiten, können aber auch nur kurz, das heißt ohne weiterreichende Konsequenzen auftauchen. 
Da Zwischendominanten nicht mit ausschließlich [[leitereigen]]em Material der [[Grundtonart]] gebildet werden können, ist immer eine Verwendung von [[Versetzungszeichen]] nötig. Um die Fremdheit dieser Klänge im harmonischen Zusammenhang aufzufangen und gleichzeitig die Wirkung zu unterstreichen, treten Zwischendominanten oft als [[Dominantseptakkord]]e auf (siehe auch: [[Charakteristische Dissonanz]]). Oftmals gehen sie [[chromatische Tonleiter|chromatisch]] aus dem vorhergehenden Klang hervor, was wiederum für Zusammenhalt sorgt.

Spezialfälle sind die [[Doppeldominante]] und die [[Doppelsubdominante]].

== Beispiel ==
in C-Dur

{| style="border-collapse:collapse"
! || || style="padding:0.2em; background-color:#eee" | Zwischen- dominante

'''Dionysios Iambos''' ([[Griechische Sprache|griechisch]] {{Polytonisch|Διονύσιος ὁ Ἴαμβος}}) war ein griechischer Grammatiker aus [[Alexandria]]. Er ist als Lehrer des [[Aristophanes von Byzanz]] und als Verfasser eines Werkes {{Polytonisch|περὶ διαλέκτων}} („Mundarten“) bekannt, das nicht erhalten ist. Seine Wirkungszeit fällt vermutlich in das späte 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Der Beiname {{Polytonisch|ὁ Ἴαμβος}} („der Jambendichter“) deutet an, dass er auch Lyrik verfasst hat.

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country_music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

This list was originally compiled and edited by [http://www.thespoon.com/trainhop/songs.html Wes Modes], then expanded.

'''Theophylact of Ohrid''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] Θεοφύλακτος, surname¨Ηφαιστος [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]] Теофилакт Охридски, [[Serbian language|Serbian]] Теофилакт Охридски, also known as ''Theophylact of Bulgaria'') (1055–1107) was a [[Greeks|Greek]] [[archbishop]] of [[Ohrid]] and commentator on the [[Bible]].

==Life==

He was born most probably at [[Euripus]], in [[Euboea]], about the middle of the 11th century. He became a deacon at [[Constantinople]], attained a high reputation as a scholar, and became the tutor of [[Constantine Ducas]], son of the [[Michael VII|Emperor Michael VII]], for whom he wrote ''The Education of Princes''. About 1078 he went into [[Bulgaria]] as [[Bulgarian Archbishopric of Ohrid|archbishop of Achrida]] (modern [[Ohrid]]).

Ohrid was one of the capital cities of the [[First Bulgarian Empire]] that had been conquered by the Byzantines sixty years earlier. In this demanding position in a conquered territory on the outskirts of the [[Byzantine Empire]], he conscientiously and energetically carried out his pastoral duties over the course of the next twenty years. Although a Byzantine by upbringing and outlook, he was a diligent archpastor of the Bulgarian Church, defending its interests and autonomy (i.e. its independence from the [[Patriarchate of Constantinople]]). He acted vigorously to protect his archdiocese from the teachings of the [[Paulicians]] and [[Bogomils]] (considered [[heresy]] by the [[Orthodox Church]]). He won the respect and love of the Bulgarian people who witnessed his labors on their behalf.<ref>[[Dimitri Obolensky]], ''Six Byzantine Portraits,'' Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1988, pp. 34-82.</ref>

In his Letters he complains much about the rude manners of the Bulgarians, and he sought to be relieved of his office, but apparently without success. "His letters from Ohrid are a valuable source for the economic, social, and political history of Bulgaria as well as Byzantine [[prosopography]]. They are filled with conventional complaints concerning Theophylact's 'barbarian' surroundings, whereas in fact he was deeply involved in local cultural development, producing an encomium of 15 martyrs of Tiberioupolis and a vita of [[Clement of Ohrid]]."<ref> [[The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium]]'', Oxford University Press, 1991, Vol. 3. p. 2068</ref> He also wrote (in his Letters) accounts of how the constant wars between the Byzantine Empire and the [[Pechenegs]], [[Magyars]] and [[Normans]] had destroyed most of the food of the land and caused many people to flee to the forests from the towns.

His death took place after 1107.

The present day [[Orthodox Churches]] of [[Serbian Orthodox Church|Serbia]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church|Bulgaria]], [[Church of Greece|Greece]], and [[Russian Orthodox Church|Russia]] consider him to be a [[saint]], and commemorate him on December 31.<ref>''The Prologue From Ochrid,'' Bp. [[Nikolai Velimirovic]], Lazarica Press, Birmingham, England, 1985, Vol. 4, p. 393. [http://www.pomog.org/index.html?http://www.pomog.org/prologue.shtml]</ref>

==Works==
[[Image:Teophylact of Ohrid jpg..jpg|thumb|left|Titlepage of a 16th-century Latin translation of Theophylact's bible commentaries]]

His commentaries on the [[Gospel]]s, [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]], the [[Pauline epistles]] and the [[Minor prophet]]s are founded on those of [[Chrysostom]], but deserve the considerable place they hold in exegetical literature for their appositeness, sobriety, accuracy and judiciousness. His other extant works include 530 letters and various homilies and orations, the Life of [[Saint Clement of Ohrid|Clement of Ohrid]] known as Comprehensive, and other minor pieces. A careful edition of nearly all his writings, in [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Latin]], with a preliminary dissertation, was published by [[JFBM de Rossi]] (4 vols. fol., Venice). The edition was reprinted by J.-P. Migne in the [[Patrologia Graeca]] vols. 123-6 (1869).

Contemporary translations of his Scripture commentaries are available in modern Greek, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, and Romanian, reflecting the wide influence of his exegetical work within the Orthodox Church, and beyond. A twentieth century Bishop of Ohrid, [[Nikolai Velimirovic]], writes, "Theophylact's ''commentaries on the Four Gospels and on other books of the New Testament ... are the finest works of their sort after St John Chrysostom, and are read to this day with great benefit.''"<ref>[http://www.pomog.org/index.html?http://www.pomog.org/ochrid.shtml POMOG - Protection of the Mother of God Church, Rochester NY]</ref>

The first English translation (and the first in any modern Western European language) of Theophylact's commentaries on the New Testament, ''The Explanation of the Gospels'', is available from Chrysostom Press [http://www.chrysostompress.org]. Work is underway to complete the English translation of his commentaries on the Book of Acts and the Epistles.

[[Image:Syrtis Major Map.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Map of Syrtis Major quadrangle. The [[igneous rock]]s [[basalt]], [[granite]], and [[dacite]] have been discovered in this region.]]

The '''Syrtis Major [[quadrangle (geography)|quadrangle]]''' is one of a series of [[list of quadrangles on Mars|30 quadrangle maps of Mars]] used by the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) [[Astrogeology Research Program]]. The Syrtis Major quadrangle is also referred to as MC-13 (Mars Chart-13).<ref>Davies, M.E.; Batson, R.M.; Wu, S.S.C. “Geodesy and Cartography” in Kieffer, H.H.; Jakosky, B.M.; Snyder, C.W.; Matthews, M.S., Eds. ''Mars.'' University of Arizona Press: Tucson, 1992.</ref>

The quadrangle covers longitudes 270° to 315° west and latitudes 0° to 30° north on [[Mars]].

Syrtis Major is an old shield volcano with a central depression that is elongated in a north-south direction. It contains the calderas Meroe Patera and Nili Patera.<ref>http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/S/SyrtisMajor.html</ref>

==Discovery and name==
The name [[Syrtis Major Planum|Syrtis Major]] is derived from the classical [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] name ''Syrtis maior'' for the [[Gulf of Sidra]] on the coast of [[Libya]] (classical [[Cyrenaica]]).

Syrtis Major was the first documented surface feature of another [[planet]]. It was discovered by [[Christiaan Huygens]], who included it in a drawing of Mars in 1659. The feature was originally known as the '''Hourglass Sea''' but has been given different names by different [[cartographer]]s. In 1840, [[Johann Heinrich von Mädler]] compiled a map of Mars from his observations and called the feature '''Atlantic Canale'''. In [[Richard Proctor]]'s 1867 map it is called then '''Kaiser Sea''' (after [[Frederik Kaiser]] of the [[Leiden Observatory]]). [[Camille Flammarion]] called it the '''Mer du Sablier''' (French for "Hourglass Sea") when he revised Proctor's nomenclature in 1876. The name "Syrtis Major" was chosen by [[Giovanni Schiaparelli]] when he created a map based on observations made during Mars' close approach to Earth in 1877.<ref>{{cite book| title=Mapping Mars: Science, Imagination, and the Birth of a World| first=Oliver| last=Morton| publisher=Picador USA| location=New York| year=2002| isbn=0312245513| pages=14–15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uapress.arizona.edu/onlinebks/mars/chap04.htm|title=The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery - Chapter 4: Areographers|author=William Sheehan|accessdate=2007-09-07}}</ref>

== Igneous Rocks ==
Syrtis Major is of great interest to geologists because several types of igneous rocks have been found there with orbiting spacecraft. Besides [[basalt]], [[dacite]] and [[granite]] have been found there. Dacite originates under [[volcanoes]] in [[magma]] chambers. Dacites form at the top of the chamber, after heavy minerals ([[olivine]] and [[pyroxene]]) containing [[iron]] and [[magnesium]] have settled to the bottom. Granite is formed by an even more complex process.<ref>Christensen, P. 2005. The Many Faces of Mars. Scientific American. July, 2005.</ref>

Some areas of Syrtis Major contain large amounts of the mineral [[olivine]]. Olivine turns into other minerals very rapidly in the presence of water, so a high abundance of olivine suggests that for a long time little water has been there.<ref>http://www.marsdaily.com/news-odyssey-05a.html</ref>

==Minerals==

A variety of important minerals have been discovered near [[Nili Fossae]], a major trough system in Syrtis major. Besides a large exposure of [[olivine]] located in Nili Fossae. Other minerals found there include carbonates, aluminum smectite, iron/magnesium smecite, hydrated silica, kaolinite group minerals, and iron oxides.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7791060.stm Nasa finds 'missing' Mars mineral]</ref><ref>Murchie, S. et al. 2009. A synthesis of Martian aqueous mineralogy after 1 Mars year of observations from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Journal of Geophysical Research: 114. E00D06.</ref> In December 2008, [[NASA]]'s [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]] found that rocks at Nili Fossae contain [[carbonate minerals]], a geologically significant discovery.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7791060.stm NASA finds 'missing' Mars mineral]</ref> Later research published in October 2010, described a large deposit of carbonate rocks found inside Leighton Crater at a level that was once buried 4 miles (6 km) below the surface. Finding carbonates in an underground location strongly suggests that Mars was warmer and had more atmospheric carbon dioxide and ancient seas. Because the carbonates were near silicate minerals and clays hydrothermal systems like the deep sea vents on Earth may have been present.<ref>http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/3646/exposed-rocks-point-to water-on-ancient-mars</ref><ref>1.Adrian J.

Other minerals found by [[MRO]] are aluminum smectite, iron/magnesium smecite, hydrated silica, kaolinite group minerals, iron oxides, and talc.<ref>Murchie, S. et al. 2009.

NASA scientists discovered that Nili Fossae is the source of plumes of methane, raising the question of whether this source originates from biological sources.<ref>[http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/01/15/mars-methane-life.html Mars Methane Found, Raising Possibility of Life]</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7829315.stm New light on Mars methane mystery]</ref>

Research, published in the fall of 2010, describes the discovery of hydrated silica on the flanks of a volcanic cone. The deposit was from a steam [[fumarole]] or hot spring, and it represents a recent habitable microenvironment. The 100 meter high cone rests on the floor of Nili Patera. Observations were obtained with NASA's [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]].<ref>http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=31980</ref>

== Dikes ==

Narrow ridges occur in some places on Mars. They may be formed by different means, but some are probably caused by molten rock moving underground, cooling into hard rock, then being exposed by the erosion of softer, surrounding materials. Such a feature is termed a dike. They are common on Earth—some famous ones are [[Shiprock]], [[New Mexico]];<ref>http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2005/10/13/</ref> around [[Spanish Peaks]], [[Colorado]];<ref>ISBN 0-87842-105-X</ref><ref>ISBN 0-7167-2438-3</ref> and the "Iron Dike" in [[Rocky Mountain National Park]], [[Colorado]].<ref>ISBN 0-8403-4619-0</ref>

<gallery>

The discovery on Mars of dikes that were formed from molten rock is highly significant because dikes indicate the existence of intrusive igneous activity. On the Earth such activity is associated with precious metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], and [[tellurium]].<ref>http://ccvgoldmining.com/Geology/geology.html</ref> Dikes and other intrusive structures are common in the Cripple Creek Mining District of Colorado;<ref>http://ccvgoldmining.com/Geology/geology.html</ref> the Battle Mountain-Eureka area in north-central Nevada, famous for gold and [[molybdenum]] deposits;<ref>http://www.mirandagold.com/s/Coal/Canyon.asp</ref> and around the [[Franklin dike swarm]] in [[Canada]].
Mapping the presence of dikes allows us to understand how [[magma]] (molten rock under the ground) travels and where it could have interacted with surrounding rock, thus producing valuable [[ores]]. Deposits of important minerals are also made by dikes and other igneous [[intrusion]]s heating water which then dissolves minerals that are deposited in cracks in nearby rock.<ref>Namowitz, S. and D. Stone. 1975. Earth Science-The World We Live in. American Book Company. Ny, NY</ref> One would expect a great deal of intrusive igneous activity to occur on Mars because it is believed there is more igneous activity under the ground than on top, and Mars has many huge volcanoes.<ref>Crisp, J. 1984. Rates of magma emplacement and volcanic output. J. Volcanlo. Geotherm. Res: 20. 177-211.</ref>

Some crater floors in the Syrtis Major area show elongated ridges in a lattice-like pattern. Such patterns are typical of [[fault (geology)|faults]] and breccia [[Dike (geology)|dikes]] formed as a result of an impact. The ridges are found where there has been enhanced [[erosion]]. Pictures below show examples of these dikes. Water may flow along faults. The water often carries minerals that serve to cement rock materials thus making them harder. Later when the whole area undergoes erosion the dikes will remain as ridges because they are more resistant to erosion.<ref>http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_008189_2080</ref> This discovery may be of great importance for future colonization of Mars because these types of faults and breccia dikes on earth are associated with key mineral resources.<ref>http://news.discovery.com/space/mars-prospecting-ores-gold.html</ref><ref>West, M. and J.

== Buttes ==
Many places on Mars have buttes that are similar to buttes on Earth, such as the famous ones in [[Monument Valley]], [[Utah]]. Buttes are formed when most of a layer(s) of rocks are removed from an area. Buttes usually have a hard, erosion resistant cap rock on the top. The cap rock causes the top of a butte to be flat. An example of a butte in the Syrtis Major quadrangle is shown below.

</gallery>

== Dunes ==
[[Sand dunes]] are found all over Mars. Often sand dunes will form in low areas, for example on the floor of ancient river valleys. Dunes on the floor of [[Arnus Vallis]], an old river valley are visible in a picture below. Dunes in valleys on Mars usually lie at right angles to the valley walls.

<gallery>

</gallery>

== Streaks ==
Many areas of Mars change their shape and/or coloration. For many years, astronomers observing regular changes on Mars when the seasons changed, thought that what they saw was evidence of vegetation growing. After close-up inspection with a number of spacecraft, other causes were discovered. Basically, the changes are caused by the effects of the wind blowing dust around. Sometimes, fine bright dust settles on the dark basalt rock making the surface appear lighter, at other times the light-toned dust will be blown away; thus making the surface darken—just as if vegetation were growing. Mars has frequent regional or global dust storms that coat the surface with fine bright dust. In the [[THEMIS]] image below, white streaks are seen downwind of craters. The streaks are not too bright; they appear bright because of contrast with the dark volcanic rock [[basalt]] which makes up the surface.<ref>http://themis.asu.edu/zoom-20020606a</ref>

== Inverted Relief ==
Some places on Mars show inverted relief. In these locations, a stream bed may be a raised feature, instead of a valley. The inverted former stream channels may be caused by the deposition of large rocks or due to cementation. In either case erosion would erode the surrounding land and leave the old channel as a raised ridge because the ridge would be more resistant to erosion. Images below, taken with [[HiRISE]] show sinuous ridges that are old channels that have become inverted.<ref>http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/images/PSP/diafotizo.php?ID=PSP_002279_1735</ref>

== Methane ==

For several years, researchers have found methane in the atmosphere of Mars. After study, it was determined to be coming from a point in Syrtis Major, located at 10° N and 50° E.<ref>http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mars-methane-gas-disappears-quickly-100920.html</ref>
A recent study indicates that to match the observations of methane, there must be something that quickly destroys the gas, otherwise it would be spread all through the atmosphere instead of being concentrated in one location. There may be something in the soil that oxidizes the gas before it has a chance to spread. If this is so, that same chemical would destroy organic compounds, thus life would be very difficult on Mars.<ref>http://www.spaceref.com:80/news/viewpr.html?pid=28914</ref>

The '''history of Mars observation''' dates back to the era of the ancient [[Egyptian astronomy|Egyptian astronomers]]. Detailed records regarding the position of the planet [[Mars]] were made by [[Babylonian astronomy|Babylonian astronomers]] who developed arithmetic techniques to predict the future position of the planet. The ancient [[Greek philosophy|Greek philosophers]] and [[Hellenistic astronomy|Hellenistic]] [[astronomers]] developed a detailed [[geocentric model]] to explain the planet's motions. [[Indian astronomy|Indian]] and [[Astronomy in medieval Islam|Islamic]] astronomers estimated the size of Mars and its distance from Earth. In the 16th century, [[Nicholas Copernicus]] proposed a [[Heliocentrism|heliocentric model]] for the [[Solar System]] with the planets following circular orbits about the [[Sun]]. This was revised by [[Johannes Kepler]], yielding an [[elliptic orbit]] for Mars that more accurately fitted the observational data.

The first [[Telescope|telescopic]] observation of Mars was by [[Galileo Galilei]] in 1610. Within a century, astronomers discovered distinct [[albedo]] features on the planet, including the dark patch [[Syrtis Major Planum]] and [[polar ice cap]]s. They also determined the planet's [[rotation period]] and [[axial tilt]]. Some even speculated about the possibility of life on Mars. These observations of Mars were primarily made when the planet reached [[Opposition (planets)|opposition]] to the Sun, at which point Mars made its closest approach to the Earth during an orbit.

Better telescopes introduced early in the 19th century allowed permanent Martian [[albedo]] features to be mapped in some detail. The first crude map of Mars was published in 1840, followed by more detailed maps from 1877 onward. After astronomers seemingly detected the [[Absorption line|spectroscopic signature]] of water in the Martian atmosphere, the idea of life on Mars became popularized among the public. [[Percival Lowell]] believed he could see an artificial network of [[Martian canal|canals on Mars]]. These observations later proved to be an [[optical illusion]], and the atmosphere was found to be too thin and dry to support an [[Planetary habitability|Earth-like environment]].

Yellow clouds on Mars have been observed since the 1870s, which [[Eugène M. Antoniadi]] suggested these were windblown sand or dust. During the 1920s, the range of Martian surface temperature was measured and the planet was shown to have extreme desert conditions. In 1947, [[Gerard Kuiper]] showed that the thin Martian atmosphere contained extensive [[carbon dioxide]]. The first standard nomenclature for Mars [[albedo]] features was adopted in 1960 by the [[International Astronomical Union]]. Since the 1960s, multiple robotic [[spacecraft]] have been sent to explore Mars from orbit and the surface. The planet has remained under observation by ground and space-based instruments across a broad range of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]]. The discovery of [[meteorite]]s on Earth that [[Mars meteorite|originated on Mars]] has allowed laboratory examination of the chemical conditions on the planet.

==Earliest records==
[[File:Retrograde Motion.bjb.svg|thumb|right|As Earth passes Mars, the latter planet will temporarily appear to reverse its
motion across the sky.]]
The existence of Mars as a wandering object in the night sky was recorded by ancient [[Egyptian astronomy|Egyptian astronomers]] and by 1534 BCE they were familiar with the [[apparent retrograde motion|retrograde motion]] of the planet, where it appears to move in the opposite direction across the sky from its normal progression.<ref name=paob85/> Mars was portrayed on the ceiling of the tomb of [[Seti I]] and on the [[Ramesseum]] ceiling, though it was missing from the [[Senenmut]] star map. In the latter case, the planet may have been in [[Conjunction (astronomy and astrology)|conjunction]] with the Sun.<ref name=marshall89/>

By the period of the [[Neo-Babylonian Empire]], the [[Babylonian astronomers]] were making systematic observations of the positions and behavior of the planets. For Mars, they knew, for example, that the planet made 37 [[synodic period]]s, or 42 circuits of the zodiac, every 79 years. They also invented arithmetic methods for making minor corrections to the predicted positions of the planets. This Babylonian planetary theory was primarily derived from timing measurements, rather than the less accurately known position of the planet in the night sky.<ref name=north08/><ref name=swerdlow98/>

Chinese records about the appearances and motions of Mars appear from before the founding of the [[Zhou Dynasty]] (1045 BCE), and by the [[Chin Dynasty]] (221 BCE) astronomers maintained close records of planetary conjunctions, including those of Mars. In 375 CE, an [[occultation]] of Mars by [[Venus]] was noted. The period and motion of the planet's orbit was known in some detail during the [[Tang Dynasty]] (618 CE).<ref name=emp40_2/><ref name=needham_ronan85/><ref name=chang_wu_88/><ref name=jha32_4_109/>

The early [[Greek astronomy|astronomy of ancient Greece]] was influenced by knowledge transmitted from the [[Mesopotamia]]n culture. Thus the Babylonians associated Mars with [[Nergal]], their god of war and pestilence, while the Greeks connected the planet with their god of war [[Ares]].<ref name=valery_cumont12/> During this period, the motions of the planets were of little interest to the Greeks, and [[Hesiod]]'s ''[[Works and Days]]'' (c. 650 BCE) makes no mention of the planets.<ref name=evans98/>

==Orbital models==
[[File:Ptolemaicsystem-small.png|right|thumb|Geocentric model of the Universe.]]

The Greeks used the word ''planēton'' to refer to the seven celestial bodies that moved with respect to the background stars and they held a [[geocentric]] view that these bodies moved about the [[Earth]]. The Greek philosopher [[Plato]] provided the oldest known statement regarding the Greek astronomical tradition for the order of these objects in his work, ''[[The Republic (Plato)|The Republic]]'' (X.616E–617B). His list, in order of the most distant to the nearest object, was as follows: [[Saturn]], [[Jupiter]], Mars, [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], Venus, the [[Sun]] and the [[Moon]]. In his dialogue ''[[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]'', Plato proposed that the rotation of these objects across the skies depended on their distance, with the furthest object moving the slowest.<ref name=brumbaugh87/>

[[Aristotle]], a student of Plato, observed an [[occultation]] of Mars by the Moon in 365 BCE. From this he concluded that Mars must lie further from the Earth than the Moon. He also noted that other such occultations of stars and planets had been observed by the Egyptians and Babylonians.<ref name=lloyd96/><ref name=william2000/><ref name=china69BCE>In China, astronomers recorded an occultation of Mars by the Moon in 69 BCE. See Price (2000:148).</ref> Aristotle used this observational evidence to support the Greek sequencing of the planets.<ref name=heidarzadeh08/> Aristotle's work ''[[De Caelo]]'' presented a model of the universe in which the Sun, Moon and planets all circle about the Earth at a fixed distance. A more sophisticated version of the geocentric model was developed by the Greek astronomer [[Hipparchus]] when he presented a model in which Mars moved along a circular track that in turn orbited about the Earth—termed the [[deferent and epicycle]].<ref name=kolb96/><ref name=hummel1986/>

In [[Roman Egypt]] during the 2nd century CE, [[Claudius Ptolemaeus]] (Ptolemy) attempted to address the problem of the orbital motion of Mars. Observations of Mars had shown that the planet appeared to move 40% faster on one side of its orbit than the other, in conflict with the Aristotelian model of uniform motion. Ptolemy modified the model of planetary motion by adding a [[equant|point offset]] from the center of the planet's circular orbit about which the planet moves with a uniform [[angular velocity|rate of rotation]]. Ptolemy's model and his collective work on astronomy was presented in the multi-volume collection ''[[Almagest]]'', which became the authoritative treatise on Western astronomy for the next fourteen centuries.<ref name=hummel1986/>

In the 5th century CE, the [[Indian astronomy|Indian astronomical]] text ''[[Surya Siddhanta]]'' estimated the [[angular size]] of Mars as 2 [[Minute of arc|arc-minutes]] (1/30 of a degree) and its distance to Earth as 10,433,000 km (1,296,600 [[yojana]], where one yojana is equivalent to eight km in the ''Surya Siddhanta''). From this the diameter of Mars is deduced to be 6,070 km (754.4 yojana), which has an error within 11% of the currently accepted value of 6,788 km. However, this estimate was based upon an inaccurate guess of the planet's angular diameter as 2.0 arc-minutes. The result may have been influenced by the measurements of Ptolemy, who found a value of 1.57 arc-minutes. This is close to the resolution of the human eye and is significantly larger than the value later obtained by telescope.<ref name=jse11/>

In 1543, [[Nicolaus Copernicus]] published a heliocentric model in his work ''[[De revolutionibus orbium coelestium]]''. This approach placed the Earth in a orbit around the Sun between the circular orbits of Venus and Mars. His model successfully explained why the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were on the opposite side of the sky from the Sun whenever they were in the middle of their retrograde motions. Copernicus was able to sort the planets into their correct heliocentric order based solely on the period of their orbits about the Sun.<ref name=gingerich_maclachlan05/> His theory gradually gained acceptance with European astronomers, particularly after the publication of the ''[[Prutenic Tables]]'' by the German astronomer [[Erasmus Reinhold]] in 1551, which were computed using the Copernican model.<ref name=seop/>

On October 13, 1590, the German astronomer [[Michael Maestlin]] observed the only recorded [[occultation]] of Mars by Venus.<ref name=sat57/> One of his students, [[Johannes Kepler]], quickly became an adherent to the Copernican system. After the completion of his education, Kepler became an assistant to the Danish nobleman and astronomer, [[Tycho Brahe]]. With access granted to Tycho's detailed observations of Mars, Kepler was set to work mathematically assembling a replacement to the Prutenic Tables. After repeatedly failing to fit the motion of Mars into a circular orbit as required under Copernicanism, he succeeded in matching Tycho's observations by assuming the orbit was an [[ellipse]], with the Sun located at one of the [[Focus (geometry)|foci]]. His model became the basis for [[Kepler's laws of planetary motion]], which were published in his multi-volume work ''Epitome astronomia Copernicanae'' (Epitome of Copernican Astronomy) between 1615 and 1621.<ref name=longair03/>

==Early telescope observations==
The Italian scientist [[Galileo Galilei]] was the first person known to use a [[telescope]] to make astronomical observations. His records indicate that he began observing Mars through a telescope in September 1610, with the goal of seeing if the planet exhibited [[Planetary phase|phases]] of partial darkness similar to [[Venus]] or the [[Moon]]. Although uncertain of his success, by December he did note that Mars had shrunk in angular size.<ref name=jha15/> Polish astronomer [[Johannes Hevelius]] succeeded in observing a phase of Mars in 1645.<ref name=jbaa94/>

[[File:Mars and Syrtis Major - GPN-2000-000923.jpg|right|thumb|The low albedo feature Syrtis Major is visible at the disk center. ''[[NASA]]/[[Hubble Space Telescope|HST]] image''.]]

In 1644, the Italian Jesuit [[Daniello Bartoli]] reported seeing two darker patches on Mars. During the [[Opposition (planets)|oppositions]] of 1651, 1653 and 1655, when the planet made its closest approaches to the Earth, the Italian astronomer [[Giovanni Battista Riccioli]] and his student [[Francesco Maria Grimaldi]] noted patches of differing [[albedo|reflectivity]] on Mars.<ref name=harland/> The first person to draw a map of Mars that displayed any terrain features was the Dutch astronomer [[Christiaan Huygens]]. On November 28, 1659 he made an illustration of Mars that showed the distinct dark region now known as [[Syrtis Major Planum]], and possibly also one of the polar [[ice cap]]s.<ref name=sheehan_ch2/> The same year, he also succeeded in measuring the rotation period of the planet, giving it as approximately 24 hours.<ref name=jbaa94/> He made a rough estimate of the diameter of Mars, guessing that it is about 60% of the size of the Earth, which compares well with the modern value of 53%.<ref name=ferris03/>

Perhaps the first definitive mention of Mars's southern polar ice cap was by the Italian astronomer [[Giovanni Domenico Cassini]], in 1666. That same year, he used observations of the surface markings on Mars to determine a rotation period of 24h 40m. This differs from the correct value by less than three minutes. In 1672, Christiaan Huygens noticed a fuzzy white cap at the north pole.<ref name=rabkin05/>

After Cassini became the first director of the [[Paris Observatory]] in 1671, he tackled the problem of the physical scale of the Solar System. For this purpose, the position of [[Mars]] was measured against the background stars from different points on the Earth—the [[diurnal parallax]]. During this year, the planet was near the point along its orbit when it was nearest to the Sun (a [[Perihelia|perihelical]] opposition), thereby also making a particularly close approach to the Earth. Cassini and [[Jean Picard]] determined the position of Mars in [[Paris]], while French astronomer [[Jean Richer]] made the measurements in [[Cayenne]], [[South America]]. Although these observations were hampered by the quality of the instruments, Cassini's result came within 10% of the correct value.<ref name=hirschfeld01/><ref name=ejp30/> The English astronomer [[John Flamsteed]] made comparable measurement attempts and had similar results.<ref name=taton03/>

In 1704, French-Italian astronomer [[Jacques Philippe Maraldi]] made a systematic study of the southern cap and noticed that it underwent variation as the planet rotated. This indicated that the cap was not centered on the pole. He also observed that the cap varied in size over time.<ref name=harland/><ref name=iaj3/>

The German-English astronomer [[William Herschel]] began making observations of the planet Mars in 1777; particularly of the planet's polar caps. In 1781, he noted that the south cap appeared "extremely large", which he ascribed to that pole being in darkness for the past twelve months. By 1784, the southern cap appeared much smaller, thereby suggesting that the caps vary with the planet's seasons and thus were made of ice. In 1781, he estimated the rotation period of Mars as 24h 39m 21.67s and measured the [[axial tilt]] of the planet's poles to the orbital plane as roughly 28.5°. He noted that Mars had a "considerable but moderate atmosphere, so that its inhabitants probably enjoy a situation in many respects similar to ours".<ref name=iaj3/><ref name=macpherson19/><ref name=pa38/><ref name=markus08/>

Between 1796 and 1809, the French astronomer [[Honoré Flaugergues]] noticed some obscurations of Mars, suggesting "ochre-colored veils" covered the surface. This may be the earliest report of yellow clouds or storms on Mars.<ref name=blo157_7/><ref name=sheehan_ch3/>

==Geographical period==
At the start of the 19th century, improvements in the size and quality of telescope optics proved a significant advance in observation capability. Most notable among these enhancements was the two-component [[achromatic lens]] of the German optician [[Joseph von Fraunhofer]] that essentially eliminated [[Coma (optics)|coma]]—an optical effect that can distort the outer edge of the image. By 1812, Fraunhofer had succeeded in creating an achromatic objective lens {{convert|190|mm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter. The size of this primary lens is the main factor in determining the light gathering ability and resolution of a telescope.<ref name=jackson00/><ref name=sheehan_ch4 />

During the opposition of Mars in 1830, the German astronomers [[Johann Heinrich Mädler]] and [[Wilhelm Beer]] used a {{convert|95|mm|in|abbr=on}} Fraunhofer [[refracting telescope]] to launch an extensive study of the planet. They chose a feature located 8° south of the [[equator]] as their point of reference. (This was later named the [[Sinus Meridiani]], and it would become the zero [[Meridian (astronomy)|meridian]] of Mars.) During their observations, they established that most of Mars’ surface features were permanent, and more precisely determined the planet's rotation period. In 1840, Mädler combined ten years of observations and drew the first map of Mars. Rather than giving names to the various markings, Beer and Mädler simply designated them with letters; Meridian Bay (Sinus Meridiani) was thus feature "''a''".<ref name=jbaa94/><ref name=sheehan_ch4/><ref name=morton03/>

Working at the [[Vatican Observatory]] during the opposition of Mars in 1858, Italian astronomer [[Pietro Angelo Secchi|Angelo Secchi]] noticed a large blue triangular feature, which he named the "Blue Scorpion". This same seasonal cloud-like formation was seen by English astronomer [[J. Norman Lockyer]] in 1862, and it has been viewed subsequently by other observers.<ref name=jalpo34/> During the 1862 opposition, Dutch astronomer [[Frederik Kaiser]] produced drawings of Mars. By comparing his illustrations with those of Huygens and the English natural philosopher [[Robert Hooke]], he was able to further refine the rotation period of Mars. His value of 24h 37m 22.6s is accurate to within a tenth of a second.<ref name=sheehan_ch4 /><ref name=mnras33/>

[[Image:Proctor Mars Map.jpg|right|thumb|A later version of Proctor's map of Mars, published in 1905]]

Father Secchi produced some of the first color illustrations of Mars in 1863. He used the names of famous explorers for the distinct features. In 1869, he observed two dark linear features on the surface that he referred to as ''canali'', which is Italian for 'channels' or 'grooves'.<ref name=bakich00/><ref name=aspl8/><ref name=greeley2007/> In 1867, English astronomer [[Richard A. Proctor]] created a more detailed map of Mars based on the 1864 drawings of English astronomer [[William R. Dawes]]. Proctor named the various [[albedo|lighter or darker]] features after astronomers, past and present, who had contributed to the observations of Mars. During the same decade, comparable maps and nomenclature were produced by the French astronomer [[Camille Flammarion]] and the English astronomer [[Nathan Green]].<ref name=greeley2007/>

At the [[University of Leipzig]] in 1862–64, German astronomer [[Johann Karl Friedrich Zöllner|Johann K. F. Zöllner]] used a [[photometer]] he had developed to measure the reflectivity of the Moon, planets and bright stars. For Mars, he derived an [[albedo]] of 0.27. Between 1877 and 93, German astronomers [[Gustav Müller]] and [[Paul Friedrich Ferdinand Kempf|Paul Kempf]] observed Mars using Zöllner's photometer. They found a small [[phase coefficient]]—the variation in reflectivity with angle—indicating that the surface of Mars is relatively smooth and without large irregularities.<ref name=pannekoek89/>

In 1867, French astronomer [[Pierre Janssen]] and British astronomer [[William Huggins]] used [[spectroscope]]s to examine the atmosphere of Mars. Both compared the [[optical spectrum]] of Mars to that of the [[Moon]]. As the spectrum of the latter did not display [[absorption lines]] of water, they believed they had detected the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Mars. This result was confirmed by German astronomer [[Hermann Carl Vogel|Herman C. Vogel]] in 1872 and English astronomer [[Edward W. Maunder]] in 1875, but would later come into question.<ref name=harland05/>

A particularly favorable perihelic opposition occurred in 1877. The English astronomer [[David Gill (astronomer)|David Gill]] used this opportunity to measure the diurnal parallax of Mars from [[Ascension Island]]. With these measurements, he was able to more accurately determine the distance from the Earth to the Sun, based upon the relative size of the orbits of Mars and the Earth.<ref name=massa2/> He also noted that the edge of the disk of Mars appeared fuzzy because of the atmosphere, which limited the precision he could obtain for the planet's position.<ref name=webb99/>

In August 1877, the American astronomer [[Asaph Hall]] discovered the two moons of Mars using a {{convert|660|mm|in|abbr=on}} telescope at the [[U.S. Naval Observatory]].<ref name=jha1/> The names of the two satellites, [[Phobos (moon)|Phobos]] and [[Deimos (moon)|Deimos]], were chosen by Hall based upon a suggestion by [[Henry George Madan|Henry Madan]], a science instructor at [[Eton College]] in England.<ref name=jcs02/>

==Martian canals==

{{Multiple image|direction=vertical|align=right|image1=Giovanni map mars.jpg|image2=Lowell Mars channels.jpg|width=200|caption1=Map of Mars by Giovanni Schiaparelli, compiled between 1877 and 1886, showing ''canali'' features as fine lines|caption2=Mars sketched as observed by Lowell sometime before 1914. (South top)}}

During the 1877 opposition, Italian astronomer [[Giovanni Schiaparelli]] used a {{convert|22|cm|abbr=on}} telescope to help produce the first detailed map of Mars. These maps notably contained features he called ''canali'', which were later shown to be an [[optical illusion]]. These ''canali'' were supposedly long straight lines on the surface of Mars to which he gave names of famous rivers on Earth. His term ''canali'' was popularly mistranslated in English as ''[[Martian canal|canals]]''.<ref name=milone_wilson08/><ref name=sagan80/> In 1886, the English astronomer [[William F. Denning]] observed that these linear features were irregular in nature and showed concentrations and interruptions. By 1895, English astronomer [[Edward Maunder]] became convinced that the linear features were merely the summation of many smaller details.<ref name=pa21/>

In his 1892 work ''La planète Mars et ses conditions d'habitabilité'', Camille Flammarion wrote about how these channels resembled man-made canals, which an intelligent race could use to redistribute water across a dying Martian world. He advocated for the existence of such inhabitants, and suggested they may be more advanced than humans.<ref name=lang03/>

Influenced by the observations of Schiaparelli, the orientalist Percival Lowell founded an [[Lowell Observatory|observatory]] with {{convert|30|and|45|cm|in|abbr=on|adj=on}} telescopes. The observatory was used for the exploration of Mars during the last good opportunity in 1894 and the following less favorable oppositions. He published several books on Mars and life on the planet, which had a great influence on the public.<ref name=basalla06/> The ''canali'' were also found by other astronomers, such as [[Henri Joseph Perrotin]] and [[Louis Thollon]] with a {{convert|38|cm|in|abbr=on}} refractor at the [[Nice Observatory]], one of the largest telescopes of that time.<ref name=isis96/><ref name=ba3/>

Beginning in 1901, efforts were made to photograph the canal features of Mars by A. E. Douglass. These efforts appeared to succeed when [[Carl O. Lampland]] published photographs of the canals in 1905.<ref name=pasp33/> Although these results were widely accepted, they became contested by Greek astronomer [[Eugène M. Antoniadi]], English naturalist [[Alfred Russel Wallace]] and others as imagined features.<ref name=pa21/><ref name=wallace07/> As bigger telescopes were used, fewer long, straight ''canali'' were observed. During an observation in 1909 by Flammarion with a {{convert|84|cm|in|abbr=on}} telescope, irregular patterns were observed, but no ''canali'' were seen.<ref name=nature412/>

==Refining planetary parameters==
In 1894, American astronomer [[William Wallace Campbell|William W. Campbell]] found that the spectrum of Mars was identical to the spectrum of the Moon, throwing doubt on the burgeoning theory that the atmosphere of Mars is similar to that of the Earth. Previous detections of water in the atmosphere of Mars were explained by unfavorable conditions, and Campbell determined that the water signature came entirely from the Earth's atmosphere. Although he agreed that the ice caps did indicate there was some water in the atmosphere, he did not believe the caps were sufficiently large to allow the water vapor to be detected.<ref name=pasp6_37/> At the time, Campbell's results were considered controversial and were criticized by some members of the astronomical community, but they were later confirmed by American astronomer [[Walter S. Adams]] in 1925.<ref name=qjras18/>

[[Baltic German]] astronomer [[Hermann Struve]] used the observed changes in the orbits of the martian moons to determine the gravitational influence of the planet's [[oblate]] shape. In 1895, he used this data to estimate that the equatorial diameter was 1/190 larger than the polar diameter.<ref name=iaj3/><ref name=an138/> In 1911, he refined the value to 1/192. This result was confirmed by American meteorologist [[Edgar William Woolard|Edgar W. Woolard]] in 1944.<ref name=aj51/>

[[File:Mars duststorm.jpg|right|thumb|In the left image, thin martian clouds are visible near the polar regions.<ref name=nasa010626/> At right, the surface of Mars is obscured by a [[dust storm]]. ''NASA/HST images'']]

Surface obscuration caused by yellow clouds had been noted in the 1870s when they were observed by Schiaparelli. Further evidence for such clouds was observed during the oppositions of 1892 and 1907. In 1909, Antoniadi noted that the presence of yellow clouds was associated with the obscuration of albedo features. He discovered that Mars appeared more yellow during oppositions when the planet was closest to the Sun and was receiving more energy. He suggested windblown sand or dust as the cause of the clouds.<ref name=jbaa106_4/><ref name=jbas103_5/>

Using a vacuum [[thermocouple]] attached to the {{convert|2.54|m|in|abbr=on}} Hooker Telescope at [[Mount Wilson Observatory]], in 1924 the American astronomers [[Seth Barnes Nicholson]] and [[Edison Pettit]] were able to measure the thermal energy being radiated by the surface of Mars. They determined that the temperature ranged from {{convert|-68|C|F|abbr=on|0}} at the pole up to {{convert|7|C|F|abbr=on|0}} at the mid-point of the disk (corresponding to the [[equator]]).<ref name=pasp36/> Beginning in the same year, [[radiometric|radiated energy measurements]] of Mars were made by American physicist [[William Coblentz]] and American astronomer [[Carl Otto Lampland]]. The results showed that the night time temperature on Mars dropped to {{convert|-85|C|F|abbr=on|0}}, indicating an "enormous [[wiktionary:diurnal|diurnal]] fluctuation" in temperatures.<ref name=apj63/> The temperature of Martian clouds was measured as {{convert|-30|C|F|abbr=on|0}}.<ref name=pasp60/>

In 1926, by measuring spectral lines that were [[red shift]]ed by the orbital motions of Mars and Earth, American astronomer [[Walter Sydney Adams]] was able to directly measure the amount of oxygen and water vapor in the atmosphere of Mars. He determined that "extreme desert conditions" were prevalent on Mars.<ref name=apj63/> In 1934, Adams and American astronomer [[Theodore Dunham, Jr.]] found that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere of Mars was less than one percent of the amount over a comparable area on Earth.<ref name=apj79/>

During the 1920s, French astronomer [[Bernard Lyot]] used a [[polarimeter]] to study the surface properties of the Moon and planets. In 1929, he noted that the [[polarized light]] emitted from the martian surface is very similar to that radiated from the Moon, although he speculated that some of his observations could be explained by frost and possibly vegetation. Based on the amount of sunlight scattered by the Martian atmosphere, he set an upper limit of 1/15 the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere. This restricted the surface pressure to no greater than {{convert|2.4|kPa|mbar|abbr=on|lk=on|sigfig=2}}.<ref name=aop8_1/>

Using [[infrared]] spectrometery, in 1947 the Dutch-American astronomer [[Gerard Kuiper]] detected [[carbon dioxide]] in the Martian atmosphere. He was able to estimate that the amount of carbon dioxide over a given area of the surface is double that on the Earth. However, because he over-estimated the surface pressure on Mars, Kuiper concluded erroneously that the ice caps could not be composed of frozen carbon dioxide.<ref name=horowitz86/> In 1948, American meteorologist [[Seymour L. Hess]] determined that the formation of the thin Martian clouds would only require {{convert|4|mm|in|abbr=on}} of precipitatable water and a [[vapor pressure]] of {{convert|0.1|kPa|mbar|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.<ref name=pasp60/>

Based upon observations of the [[Near-Earth object|near Earth]] [[asteroid]] [[Eros]] from 1926 to 1945, German-American astronomer [[Eugene K. Rabe]] was able to estimate the mass of Mars from the planet's gravitational [[Perturbation (astronomy)|perturbations]] of the asteroid.<ref name=aj55/>

The first standard nomenclature for Martian albedo features was introduced by the [[International Astronomical Union]] (IAU) when in 1960 they adopted 128 names from the 1929 map of Antoniadi named ''La Planète Mars''. The Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) was established by the IAU in 1973 to standardize the naming scheme for Mars and other bodies.<ref name=shirley97/>

==Remote sensing==
The [[International Planetary Patrol Program]] was formed in 1969 as a consortium to continually monitor planetary changes. This worldwide group focused on observing dust storms on Mars. The resulting images allow martian seasonal patterns to be studied globally, and they showed that most Martian dust storms occur when the planet is closest to the Sun.<ref name=greeley_iversen87/>

Since the 1960s, robotic [[spacecraft]] have been sent to [[Exploration of Mars|explore Mars]] from orbit and the [[Mars landing|surface]] in extensive detail. In addition, remote sensing of Mars from Earth by ground-based and orbiting telescopes has continued across much of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]]. These include [[infrared]] observations to determine the composition of the surface,<ref name=baas20/> [[ultraviolet]] and [[submillimeter]] observation of the atmospheric composition,<ref name=apj538_1/><ref name=apj539_2/> and [[radio]] measurements of wind velocities.<ref name=apj383/>

The [[Hubble Space Telescope]] (HST) has been used to perform systematic studies of Mars<ref name=baas29/> and has taken the highest resolution images of Mars ever captured from Earth.<ref name=hubble010705/> This telescope can produce useful images of the planet when it is at an [[angular distance]] of at least 50° from the Sun. The HST can take images of a [[Sphere|hemisphere]], which yields views of entire weather systems. Earth-based telescopes equipped with [[charge-coupled device]]s can also produce useful images of Mars, allowing for regular monitoring of the planet's weather during oppositions.<ref name=baas25/>

[[X-ray]] emission from Mars was first observed by astronomers in 2001 using the [[Chandra X-ray Observatory]], and in 2003 it was shown to have two components. The first component is caused by X-rays from the Sun scattering off the upper Martian atmosphere, while the second comes from interactions between [[ion]]s that result in an exchange of charges.<ref name=aaa394/> The emission from the latter source has been observed out to eight times the radius of Mars by the [[XMM-Newton]] orbiting observatory.<ref name=aaa451_2/>

In 1983, the analysis of the [[Shergotty meteorite|Shergottite]], [[Nakhla meteorite|Nakhlite]] and [[Chassigny (meteorite)|Chassigny]] (SNC) group of meteorites showed that they may have [[Mars meteorite|originated on Mars]].<ref name=pass48_12-14/> The [[Allan Hills 84001]] meteorite, discovered in [[Antarctica]] in 1984, is believed to have originated on Mars but it has an entirely different composition than the SNC group. In 1996, it was announced that this meteorite might contain evidence for microscopic [[fossil]]s of Martian [[bacteria]]. However, this finding remains controversial.<ref name=geca73_21/> Chemical analysis of the Martian meteorites found on Earth suggests that the ambient near-surface temperature of Mars has most likely been below the freezing point of water (0 C°) for much of the last four billion years.<ref name=science309_5734/>

Albedo feature

2011-03-03T02:50:08Z

Wareh: dab

An '''albedo feature''' is a large area on the surface of a [[planet]] (or other [[solar system]] body) which shows a contrast in brightness or darkness ([[albedo]]) with adjacent areas.

Historically, albedo features were the very first (and usually only) features to be seen and named on [[Mars]] and [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]]. Early classical maps (such as those of [[Giovanni Schiaparelli|Schiaparelli]]<ref>[[Willy Ley|Ley, Willy]] and [[Wernher von Braun|von Braun, Wernher]] ''The Exploration of Mars'' New York:1956 The Viking Press Pages 70-71 Schiaparelli's original map of Mars</ref> and [[Eugène Antoniadi|Antoniadi]]<ref>[http://history.nasa.gov/SP-423/p15a.htm Antoniadi's map of Mercury]</ref>) showed only albedo features, and it was not until the arrival of [[space probe]]s that other surface features such as [[Impact crater|crater]]s could be seen.

On bodies other than Mars and Mercury, an albedo feature is sometimes called a regio.

On bodies with a very thick atmosphere like [[Venus]] or [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], permanent albedo features cannot be seen using ordinary optical telescopes because the surface is not visible, and only clouds and other transient atmospheric phenomena are seen.

The very first albedo feature ever seen on another planet was [[Syrtis Major Planum]] on Mars in the 17th century.<ref>{{cite book| title=Mapping Mars: Science, Imagination, and the Birth of a World| first=Oliver| last=Morton| publisher=Picador USA| location=New York| year=2002| isbn=0-312-24551-3| pages=14–15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uapress.arizona.edu/onlinebks/mars/chap04.htm|title=The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery - Chapter 4: Areographers|author=William Sheehan|accessdate=2007-09-07}}</ref>

Today, thanks to space probes, very high-resolution images of surface features on Mars and Mercury are available, and the classical nomenclature based on albedo features has fallen somewhat into disuse. It is however still used for Earth-based observing of Mars by [[amateur astronomy|amateur astronomer]]s.

However, for some solar system bodies such as [[Pluto]] and [[Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres]] which have not been visited by space probes, the best available images show only albedo features. These images were usually taken by the [[Hubble Space Telescope]] or by ground-based telescopes using [[adaptive optics]].

[[Cydonia Mensae]] on Mars is an example of an albedo feature.

'''Surt''', auch '''Sirt''' oder '''Syrte''', {{arS|سرت}}, ist eine [[Libyen|libysche]] [[Hafenstadt]] am [[Mittelmeer]] und die Hauptstadt des gleichnamigen [[Gemeinde|Munizips]] [[Surt (Munizip)|Surt]].

Die Stadt in der historischen Region [[Tripolitanien]] liegt wenig über Meereshöhe am Golf der [[Große Syrte|Großen Syrte]] in der bis an die Küste reichenden [[Libysche Wüste|Libyschen Wüste]]. Die Landeshauptstadt [[Tripolis]] im Nordwesten ist circa 300 Kilometer entfernt, die zweitgrößte Stadt [[Banghazi|Bengasi]] im Osten auf der anderen Seite des Golfs etwa ebenso weit. Der Regionalflughafen [[Flughafen Gardabya|Gardabya-Syrte Airport]] (SRX) <ref>[[:en:Gardabya Airport|„Gardabya Airport“ in der englischen Wikipedia]]</ref> befindet sich etwa zehn Kilometer südlich der Stadt. Im Bau befindlich sind die küstenparallelen Bahnstrecken [[Bahnstrecke Ras Ejder–Sirt|Ras Ejder–Sirt]] und [[Bahnstrecke Sirt–Banghazi|Sirt–Banghazi]]. Zunehmende Bedeutung gewinnt der [[Hafen Sirt]], besonders auch nach der Ausweitung der Offshore-Ölförderung im Golf.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-10751128 ''BP set to begin oil drilling off Libya.''] Auf: ''BBC News.'' 24. Juli 2010.</ref>

Von touristischem Interesse in Surt sind ein türkisches Kastell aus dem Jahr 1842 und eine [[Moschee]] aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

Nach dem [[Italienisch-Türkischer Krieg|Italienisch-Türkischen Krieg]] war die Stadt 1912 von Italienern besetzt worden. Mit Unterbrechung durch die [[Sanussiya|Senussi]] 1915–1924 dauerte die italienische Herrschaft bis in den Zweiten Weltkrieg und zur Ablösung ihrer Herrschaft durch britische Truppen unter [[Bernard Montgomery|Montgomery]] im Kampf gegen den deutschen [[Afrikafeldzug]] unter [[Erwin Rommel|Rommel]]. Zu dieser Zeit wurde nahe der Stadt im Juni 1942 in ''Yūḥannām'' der spätere Staatschef Libyens [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] geboren.

Seit Gaddafis Machtübernahme 1969 hat die Stadt einen kräftigen Aufschwung genommen. Moderne Hochhausbauten prägen das Stadtbild. Sirt besitzt neben anderen Bildungsinstitutionen auch eine eigene Universität, die Al-Tahadi-Universität<ref>[http://www.university-directory.eu/Libya/Al-Tahadi-University.html ''Al-Tahadi University.''] Im: ''University Directory world wide.''</ref><ref>[http://su.edu.ly/home/ Universität Sirt] Auf: ''su.edu.ly'' (arabisch)</ref> mit 13 Fakultäten.

Wareh: /* T */ The Midnight Train (traditional song)

{{about|the genre train list of songs|the band|List of Train (band) songs}}

A '''train song''' is a song referencing freight and passenger trains and/or railroads. Train songs are a recurring theme in some genres of music, particularly within the [[Blues]], [[Country_music|Country]] and other styles of traditional American music.

The following is a list of train songs organized in [[alphabetical order]]. The songs have appeared on commercially released [[album]]s and [[single (music)|singles]] and are notable for either their composers or the artists who performed them. Songs with train or railroad in the title, but not about or inspired by trains, are deleted from the list (for example, "Train In Vain" by [[The Clash]]. Songs by the band [[Train (band)|Train]] are also not included).

This list was originally compiled and edited by [http://www.thespoon.com/trainhop/songs.html Wes Modes], then expanded.

Athenaios (Militärschriftsteller)

2010-11-19T20:53:00Z

Wareh:

'''Athenaios''' ({{ELSalt|Ἀθήναιος}}) war ein Militärschriftsteller der griechischen Antike.
Genauere Lebensdaten sind nicht bekannt.
Er verfasste eine überlieferte Abhandlung über Belagerungsmaschinen ({{Polytonisch|Περὶ μηχανημάτον}} „Über Belagerungsmaschinen“), die auf Vorträge seines Lehrers [[Agesistratos]] zurückgeht.
Gewidmet hat er sein Werk einem Römer namens Marcellus, falls dieser mit dem römischen Feldherrn [[Marcus Claudius Marcellus (Feldherr)|Marcus Claudius Marcellus]] identisch ist, wäre Athenaios ein Zeitgenosse des [[Archimedes]] gewesen.
Möglicherweise ist Athenaios identisch mit dem von [[Proklos]] als bedeutender Mathematiker bezeichneten ''Athenaios von Kyzikos'' (Vorrede zum [[Euklid]]-Kommentar 67.16). In diesem Fall wäre Athenaios ein Zeitgenosse [[Platon]]s gewesen.

Clan Munro is a Highland [[Scottish clan]].

==History==
===Origins===

The main theory as to the origin of the clan is that the Munros came from [[Ireland]] and settled in [[Scotland]] in the 11th century and that they fought as mercenary soldiers under the [[Earl of Ross]] who defeated Viking invaders in Rosshire. The clan under chief [[Donald Munro of Foulis|Donald Munro]], son of [[O'Ceann]] were granted lands in Rosshire and a seat at [[Foulis Castle]] as a reward for helping King [[Malcolm II of Scotland]] to defeat Viking invaders from [[Scandinavia]].<ref name="Reeling2">The Clan Munro by CI Fraser of Reeling published by Johnston & Bacon of Stirling p.15 to p.16: [[Alexander Nisbet]], System of Heraldy, Vol 1, P.350.</ref>

The clan name, '''Munro''' which in [[Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic]] is ''Rothach'', ''Roich'', or ''Mac an Rothaich'', means ''Ro - Man'' or ''Man from Ro''. This supports the tradition that the clan was originally from the River Ro area in Ireland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clanmunro.org.uk/info4.htm|title=Clan Origins@Clan Munro.co.uk}}</ref>

Traditionally, Donald's grandson Hugh Munro was the first Munro recorded to be authentically designated Baron of Foulis, he died in 1126. A reliable scholar, [[Alexander Nisbet]] stated that [[George Munro, 5th Baron of Foulis]] received a charter from the [[Earl of Sutherland]] during the reign of [[Alexander II of Scotland]], but this charter can no longer be traced.<ref name="Reeling2"/> It is also said that the Munros fought in support of [[Alexander III of Scotland]] against the Norwegian forces of [[Haakon IV of Norway]] at the [[Battle of Largs]] in 1263 and as a result had all their lands in Ross-shire confirmed to them by the King.<ref>Scots and Scots descendants in America, Robert Frater Munro. by D MacDougall.</ref>

The clan soon spread into Sutherlandshire and were given a charter for land in Strathspey in 1309, and were granted more land in 1336 by the Earl of Ross. The Munro's lands lie on the north side of the [[Cromarty Firth]] and within their lands is the mountain [[Ben Wyvis]] and the [[Black Rock Gorge]].

===Wars of Scottish Independence===

During the [[Wars of Scottish Independence]] chief [[Robert Munro, 6th Baron of Foulis]] led the clan in support of King [[Robert I of Scotland|Robert the Bruce]] at the [[Battle of Bannockburn]] in 1314. Robert Munro survived the battle but his son George was killed. George however had a son of his own before he died also called George. This George Munro succeeded his grandfather Robert as chief and led the clan at the [[Battle of Halidon Hill]] in 1333 where he died.<ref name="Reeling3"/>

Chief 'Robert de Munro' is the first chief of the clan to be recorded by contemporary evidence.<ref name="MunroTree1734">"The Munro Tree 1734”. Published in 1978, Edinburgh. By R. W. Munro. ISBN:0950368911.</ref> He was married to the daughter of the Earl of Ross and had many charters confirmed to him under King [[David II of Scotland]] including one for the "Tower of Strathskehech" and "Estirfowlys" in 1350. Robert was killed in an obscure skirmish fighting in defence of [[Uilleam III, Earl of Ross]] in 1369. His son Hugh Munro was also granted many charters including one in respect of the "Tower of Strathschech" and "Wesstir Fowlys" from [[Euphemia I, Countess of Ross]] in 1394.<ref name="Reeling3">The Clan Munro by CI Fraser of Reeling published by Johnston & Bacon of Stirling. p.17 to p.19: Hugh MacDonald, Highland Papers, Vol 1, Scottish History Society.</ref>

===17th Century===
====Thirty Years' War====

*During the early 17th century the Munros continued their strong military traditions, fighting in the continental [[Thirty Years' War]] where [[Robert Munro, 18th Baron of Foulis]], known as the '''Black Baron''' and 700 members of Clan Munro joined the army of Gustavs Adolphus, in defence of Protestantism in Scandinavia along with many men from the [[Clan MacKay]]. Taking a more prominent role was the Black Baron's cousin, General [[Robert Monro]] from the Obsdale branch of the clan. Robert and his men served with distinction and received the name of the "Invincibles" in recognition of their prowess. There were twenty-seven field officers and eleven captains of the name of Munro in the Swedish army.<ref name="JMacKay">MacKay, "An Old Scots Brigade".

*[[Battle of Stirling (1648)]], Sir [[George Munro, 1st of Newmore]] who fought in Ireland as a covenanter later became a royalist after his uncle, Robert Monro was imprisoned by Cromwell in 1648. In September of that year George Munro and his men defeated the advance forces of [[Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll]]. If not for Munro's initiative, quite a different battle may have been fought the following day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scotwars.com/html/battle_of_stirling.htm|title=Battle of Stirling 1648 - Scotwars}}</ref><ref name="Sketch">A Sketch of the Clan Munro and William Munroe, Deported from Scotland, settled in Lexington, Massachusetts by James Phinney Monroe</ref>

*[[Inverness Castle]], 1649, Colonel [[Lemlair House|John Munro of Lemlair]], Colonel Hugh Fraser, Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty and Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine were all opposed to the authority of the current parliament. They assaulted the town and took the castle. They then expelled the garrison and raised the fortifications. However, on the approach of the parlimentry forces led by General [[David Leslie, Lord Newark|David Leslie]] all of the clans retreated back into Ross-shire.<ref>”Clan, King and Covenant.

*[[Battle of Dunkeld]], 1689,[[George Munro of Auchinbowie]], son of Alexander Munro of Bearcrofts commanded royalist forces that defeated the Jacobites.<ref name="Reeling4"/>

===18th century===

After [[Queen Elizabeth I]] of England died without an heir, [[King James VI]] of Scotland also became King of England in the [[Union of the Crowns]] in 1603. A century later in 1707 England and Scotland were officially united to form the [[the Kingdom of Great Britain]].

====Jacobite rising of 1715====
[[William Mackenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth]] led a force of 3000 men including the [[Clan MacKenzie]], [[Clan Donald|Clan MacDonald]], [[Clan MacKinnon]], [[Clan MacRae]] and [[Clan Chisholm]]. He was opposed by Colonel Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis who had formed a camp at the Bridge of Alness with 600 men which also included men from the [[Clan Ross]]. Munro had sent many of his own men south to protect the lands of the [[Clan Forbes]] of Culloden from the Jacobites. Munro was soon joined by the [[Earl of Sutherland]] and the chief of [[Clan MacKay]] who both brought with them only a portion of their clans and expected support from the [[Clan Grant]] did not arrive. Seaforth's forces advanced on the Sutherland's camp who made a quick retreat to avoid contact with their more powerful foe. Soon afterwards a council of war was held between the two sides and the Sutherlanders and MacKays peacefully moved back north to their own territory, while much of the Ross's lands were ravaged and the Munros returned to find their lands plundered.<ref>Memorabilia Domestica or Parish Life in the North of Scotland by the Late Rev. Donald Sage, A.M. Minister of Resolis. Edited by his son. Chapter1.</ref><ref>"Lord Seaforth's Campaign, 1715 and the Laird of Fowlis". By D. M. Rose.</ref>

The MacKenzie Jacobite garrison at Inverness surrendered to Simon [[Fraser of Lovat]] upon the very day when the [[Battle of Sheriffmuir]] was fought and another Jacobite force was defeated at the [[Battle of Preston]]. After this Colonel [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis]] marched into the town of Inverness with 400 Munros and took over control as governor from Fraser. Government troops soon arrived in Inverness and for some months the process of disarming the rebels went on, helped by a Munro detachment under [[George Munro of Culcairn]].<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/>

The clan rivalries which had erupted in rebellion were finding an outlet in local politics. MacKenzie's [[Earl of Seaforth]] title came to an end in 1716, and it was arranged that while the [[Clan Ross]] held the county seat the Munros would represent the [[Tain Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Tain Burghs]]. Ross ascendancy was secure in Tain, and from 1716 to 1745 the Munros controlled [[Dingwall]], with one of Robert Munro's brothers as provost, but not without two armed Munro "invasions" of the county town in 1721 and 1740, when opposing councillors were abducted to secure a favourable result (for the first incident Colonel Robert and his brother were fined £200 each, and after the second his parliamentary career came to an abrupt end with defeat at the 1741 election). Robert Munro, 5th Baronet's younger son, [[George Munro of Culcairn]] raised a detachment from his father's clan to fight at the [[Battle of Glen Shiel]] in 1719 where they defeated the Jacobites.<ref name="Reeling4"/><ref name="Magazine">Clan Munro Magazine No. 14 by R W Munro</ref>

====Black Watch====
In 1725 six Independent [[Black Watch]] companies were formed. One of Munros, one of Frasers, one of Grants and three of Campbells. These companies were known by the name ''Am Freacadain Dubh'', or Black Watch. By 1740 it had become the 43d Highland regiment and then the [[42nd Regiment of Foot|42d Royal Highlanders]]. Sir Robert Munro was appointed lieutenant-colonel. Among the captains were his next brother, [[George Munro of Culcairn]], and [[John Munro, 4th of Newmore]] promoted to be lieutenant-colonel in 1745. The surgeon of the regiment was Robert's younger brother, Dr Duncan Munro.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/>

====War against the French====
The Munros fought for the British Army against the French. Their first action came on [[11 May]] [[1745]], at the [[Battle of Fontenoy]]. Allowed "their own way of fighting", each time they received the French fire Col. Sir Robert Munro ordered his men to "clap to the ground" while he himself, because of his corpulence, stood alone with the colours behind him. For the first time in a European battle they introduced a system of infantry tactics (alternatively firing and taking cover) that was not superseded. Springing up and closing with the enemy, they several times drove them back, and finished with a successful rear-guard action against French cavalry.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/><ref name="Reeling4"/><ref name="Cascade1">Your Clan Heritage, Clan Munro, Cascade Publishing Company.ISBN 0907614078.</ref>

====Jacobite rising of 1745====
In June 1745, a month after the battle of Fontenoy, [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis]] was "rewarded" by an appointment to succeed General Ponsonby as Colonel of the English 37th Regiment of Foot. When the Jacobite Rising broke out, his friends in the Highlands hoped for his presence among them. One wrote that it would have been "the greatest service to His Majesty and the common cause", but it was not to be. The Munros supported the British government during the Jacobite uprisings.<ref name="Cascade1"/>

In the northern shires the [[Earl of Sutherland]] was the King's Lieutenant, and the Clan Munro, [[Clan Sutherland]], [[Clan MacKay]], [[Clan Ross]], [[Clan Gunn]], [[Clan Campbell]], and [[Clan Grant]] could be counted on to support the British Government, but the [[Clan Donald|Clan MacDonald]], [[Clan Mackenzie]], [[Clan MacKintosh]], [[Clan Menzies]], [[Clan Cameron]] and [[Clan Chisholm]] were Jacobites, and the [[Clan Fraser]] was divided owing to a disputed chiefship but they later joined the Jacobites.

Chief Colonel [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet]] had been fighting at the second [[Battle of Falkirk (1746)]] when, by account of the rebels, the English [[37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot|37th Regiment]] he was in command of ran away and he was surrounded and attacked by seven Cameron Jacobites, he killed at least two with his pike before being shot by a Jacobite commander with a pistol. The Jacobites wished to do special honour to their opponent: They buried Robert in the grave of Sir [[John de Graham]] who died at the first [[Battle of Falkirk (1298)]]. The graves can be seen in Falkirk churchyard.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/><ref name="Cascade1"/>

Robert's son [[Sir Harry Munro, 7th Baronet]] who served as an officer in [[Loudon's Highlanders]] had been captured at the [[Battle of Prestonpans]] in September 1745. He returned home to find Foulis Castle had been partially destroyed by Jacobites who set fire to it after the Battle of Falkirk. A few months after Falkirk the Jacobites were finally defeated at the [[Battle of Culloden]] by government forces. After the rising was suppressed a Munro Independent Company under Harry continued to police the Highlands and was disbanded in 1748. Harry set about rebuilding the castle as it is today incorporating what he could of the original building which now appears as a mansion house built in a formal Georgian style rather than the defensive fort it once was.<ref name="Magazine"/><ref name="Cascade1"/>

In 1754, Lieutenant [[Hector Munro, 8th of Novar]] was ordered to Badenoc to apprehend certain rebels in that district, with special instructions to apprehend John Dubh Cameron better known as "Sergent Mor" of Clan Cameron who Hector Munro successfully captured.<ref>Alexander MacKenzie.

==Later clansmen==

;British Empire & Military
Sir [[Hector Munro, 8th of Novar]] (1726 - 1805) and [[Sir Thomas Munro, 1st Baronet of Linderits]] (1761 to 1827) were Scottish Generals in the British Army who had great success fighting in India. [[James Munro (VC)]] was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross during the Crimean War, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. During the [[First World War]], Lieutenant-General [[Sir Charles Monro, 1st Baronet|Sir Charles Monro, 1st Baronet of Bearcrofts]] ordered the retreat from Gallipoli once in command of British Forces. He later became Governor of Gibralter.
;Science & Medicine
Four direct generations, from the distinguished Auchinbowie-Bearcrofts branch of the clan, [[John Munro (surgeon)]], [[Alexander Monro (primus)]], [[Alexander Monro (secundus)]] and [[Alexander Monro (tertius)]] were professors of anatomy at [[Edinburgh University]].<ref>"The Monros of Auchinbowie" and Cognate Families by John Alexander Inglis. Edinburugh, Privately printed by T and A Constable. Printers to His Majesty. 1911.
Descended from the Munro family of Fowlis, the Monros were a notable dynasty of doctors to London in the 18th and 19th century where they were involved in early work on curing 'insanity'. Four generations occupied successively the position of (Principle) Physician of the notorious Bethlem Hospital (Bedlam). They were also leading members of a variety of important medical associations. Other members were painters, priests and philanthrophists of note and [[Monro_family_(physicians)#Dr_Thomas_Monro|one]] was an important early patron to J. M. W. Turner.
</ref>
;Mountaineering
[[Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet|Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet of Linderits]] (1856-1919) was a founding member of the [[Scottish Mountaineering Club]] and produced the first scientific list of all the mountains in Scotland over 3000ft.

==Church & Music==
The Munros made a significant early contribution to Scottish traditional arts in the fifteenth century with what is probably the earliest piece of pipe music written for the Pibroch. This piece, entitled Bealach na Broige has been attributed to one of the early Munro family and is the pipe music for the clan. The Munros were also prominent members of the Scottish clergy in the north of Scotland. Clansman [[John Munro of Tain]] is one example.

==Chiefs==
The succession of a [[clan chief|Highland Chief]] has traditionally followed the principle of [[agnatic seniority]] or ''patrilineal seniority'', whereby succession passes to the former Chief's closest male relative. The 11th Bt Foulis was succeeded by his edest daughter Eva Marion Munro as chief of the clan. Eva Marion Munro married Col C. H. Gascoigne, their son Patrick took the surname 'Munro' of his maternal grandfather to become clan chief.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clanmunro.org.uk/chief.htm|title=The Chief}}</ref> However was the Baronetcy of Foulis was succeeded to by Sir George Hamilton Munro, 12th Baronet (1864-1945). The current Baronet is '''Sir Ian Kenneth Munro, 17th Baronet of Foulis'''. ''See Main Article: [[Munro Baronets]]''.

Clan Munro is a Highland [[Scottish clan]].

==History==
===Origins===

The main theory as to the origin of the clan is that the Munros came from [[Ireland]] and settled in [[Scotland]] in the 11th century and that they fought as mercenary soldiers under the [[Earl of Ross]] who defeated Viking invaders in Rosshire. The clan under chief [[Donald Munro of Foulis|Donald Munro]], son of [[O'Ceann]] were granted lands in Rosshire and a seat at [[Foulis Castle]] as a reward for helping King [[Malcolm II of Scotland]] to defeat Viking invaders from [[Scandinavia]].<ref name="Reeling2">The Clan Munro by CI Fraser of Reeling published by Johnston & Bacon of Stirling p.15 to p.16: [[Alexander Nisbet]], System of Heraldy, Vol 1, P.350.</ref>

The clan name, '''Munro''' which in [[Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic]] is ''Rothach'', ''Roich'', or ''Mac an Rothaich'', means ''Ro - Man'' or ''Man from Ro''. This supports the tradition that the clan was originally from the River Ro area in Ireland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clanmunro.org.uk/info4.htm|title=Clan Origins@Clan Munro.co.uk}}</ref>

Traditionally, Donald's grandson Hugh Munro was the first Munro recorded to be authentically designated Baron of Foulis, he died in 1126. A reliable scholar, [[Alexander Nisbet]] stated that [[George Munro, 5th Baron of Foulis]] received a charter from the [[Earl of Sutherland]] during the reign of [[Alexander II of Scotland]], but this charter can no longer be traced.<ref name="Reeling2"/> It is also said that the Munros fought in support of [[Alexander III of Scotland]] against the Norwegian forces of [[Haakon IV of Norway]] at the [[Battle of Largs]] in 1263 and as a result had all their lands in Ross-shire confirmed to them by the King.<ref>Scots and Scots descendants in America, Robert Frater Munro. by D MacDougall.</ref>

The clan soon spread into Sutherlandshire and were given a charter for land in Strathspey in 1309, and were granted more land in 1336 by the Earl of Ross. The Munro's lands lie on the north side of the [[Cromarty Firth]] and within their lands is the mountain [[Ben Wyvis]] and the [[Black Rock Gorge]].

===Wars of Scottish Independence===

During the [[Wars of Scottish Independence]] chief [[Robert Munro, 6th Baron of Foulis]] led the clan in support of King [[Robert I of Scotland|Robert the Bruce]] at the [[Battle of Bannockburn]] in 1314. Robert Munro survived the battle but his son George was killed. George however had a son of his own before he died also called George. This George Munro succeeded his grandfather Robert as chief and led the clan at the [[Battle of Halidon Hill]] in 1333 where he died.<ref name="Reeling3"/>

Chief 'Robert de Munro' is the first chief of the clan to be recorded by contemporary evidence.<ref name="MunroTree1734">"The Munro Tree 1734”. Published in 1978, Edinburgh. By R. W. Munro. ISBN:0950368911.</ref> He was married to the daughter of the Earl of Ross and had many charters confirmed to him under King [[David II of Scotland]] including one for the "Tower of Strathskehech" and "Estirfowlys" in 1350. Robert was killed in an obscure skirmish fighting in defence of [[Uilleam III, Earl of Ross]] in 1369. His son Hugh Munro was also granted many charters including one in respect of the "Tower of Strathschech" and "Wesstir Fowlys" from [[Euphemia I, Countess of Ross]] in 1394.<ref name="Reeling3">The Clan Munro by CI Fraser of Reeling published by Johnston & Bacon of Stirling. p.17 to p.19: Hugh MacDonald, Highland Papers, Vol 1, Scottish History Society.</ref>

====Thirty Years' War====

*During the early 17th century the Munros continued their strong military traditions, fighting in the continental [[Thirty Years' War]] where [[Robert Munro, 18th Baron of Foulis]], known as the '''Black Baron''' and 700 members of Clan Munro joined the army of Gustavs Adolphus, in defence of Protestantism in Scandinavia along with many men from the [[Clan MacKay]]. Taking a more prominent role was the Black Baron's cousin, General [[Robert Monro]] from the Obsdale branch of the clan.

In September of that year George Munro and his men defeated the advance forces of [[Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll]]. If not for Munro's initiative, quite a different battle may have been fought the following day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scotwars.com/html/battle_of_stirling.htm|title=Battle of Stirling 1648 - Scotwars}}</ref><ref name="Sketch">A Sketch of the Clan Munro and William Munroe, Deported from Scotland, settled in Lexington, Massachusetts by James Phinney Monroe</ref>

*[[Inverness Castle]], 1649, Colonel [[Lemlair House|John Munro of Lemlair]], Colonel Hugh Fraser, Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty and Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine were all opposed to the authority of the current parliament. They assaulted the town and took the castle. They then expelled the garrison and raised the fortifications.

*[[Battle of Dunkeld]], 1689,[[George Munro of Auchinbowie]], son of Alexander Munro of Bearcrofts commanded royalist forces that defeated the Jacobites.<ref name="Reeling4"/>

===18th century===

After [[Queen Elizabeth I]] of England died without an heir, [[King James VI]] of Scotland also became King of England in the [[Union of the Crowns]] in 1603. A century later in 1707 England and Scotland were officially united to form the [[the Kingdom of Great Britain]].

====Jacobite rising of 1715====
[[William Mackenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth]] led a force of 3000 men including the [[Clan MacKenzie]], [[Clan Donald|Clan MacDonald]], [[Clan MacKinnon]], [[Clan MacRae]] and [[Clan Chisholm]]. He was opposed by Colonel Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis who had formed a camp at the Bridge of Alness with 600 men which also included men from the [[Clan Ross]]. Munro had sent many of his own men south to protect the lands of the [[Clan Forbes]] of Culloden from the Jacobites. Munro was soon joined by the [[Earl of Sutherland]] and the chief of [[Clan MacKay]] who both brought with them only a portion of their clans and expected support from the [[Clan Grant]] did not arrive. Seaforth's forces advanced on the Sutherland's camp who made a quick retreat to avoid contact with their more powerful foe. Soon afterwards a council of war was held between the two sides and the Sutherlanders and MacKays peacefully moved back north to their own territory, while much of the Ross's lands were ravaged and the Munros returned to find their lands plundered.<ref>Memorabilia Domestica or Parish Life in the North of Scotland by the Late Rev. Donald Sage, A.M. Minister of Resolis. Edited by his son. Chapter1.</ref><ref>"Lord Seaforth's Campaign, 1715 and the Laird of Fowlis". By D. M. Rose.</ref>

The MacKenzie Jacobite garrison at Inverness surrendered to Simon [[Fraser of Lovat]] upon the very day when the [[Battle of Sheriffmuir]] was fought and another Jacobite force was defeated at the [[Battle of Preston]]. After this Colonel [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis]] marched into the town of Inverness with 400 Munros and took over control as governor from Fraser. Government troops soon arrived in Inverness and for some months the process of disarming the rebels went on, helped by a Munro detachment under [[George Munro of Culcairn]].<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/>

The clan rivalries which had erupted in rebellion were finding an outlet in local politics. MacKenzie's [[Earl of Seaforth]] title came to an end in 1716, and it was arranged that while the [[Clan Ross]] held the county seat the Munros would represent the [[Tain Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Tain Burghs]]. Ross ascendancy was secure in Tain, and from 1716 to 1745 the Munros controlled [[Dingwall]], with one of Robert Munro's brothers as provost, but not without two armed Munro "invasions" of the county town in 1721 and 1740, when opposing councillors were abducted to secure a favourable result (for the first incident Colonel Robert and his brother were fined £200 each, and after the second his parliamentary career came to an abrupt end with defeat at the 1741 election). Robert Munro, 5th Baronet's younger son, [[George Munro of Culcairn]] raised a detachment from his father's clan to fight at the [[Battle of Glen Shiel]] in 1719 where they defeated the Jacobites.<ref name="Reeling4"/><ref name="Magazine">Clan Munro Magazine No. 14 by R W Munro</ref>

====Black Watch====
In 1725 six Independent [[Black Watch]] companies were formed. One of Munros, one of Frasers, one of Grants and three of Campbells. These companies were known by the name ''Am Freacadain Dubh'', or Black Watch. By 1740 it had become the 43d Highland regiment and then the [[42nd Regiment of Foot|42d Royal Highlanders]]. Sir Robert Munro was appointed lieutenant-colonel. Among the captains were his next brother, [[George Munro of Culcairn]], and [[John Munro, 4th of Newmore]] promoted to be lieutenant-colonel in 1745. The surgeon of the regiment was Robert's younger brother, Dr Duncan Munro.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/>

====War against the French====
The Munros fought for the British Army against the French. Their first action came on [[11 May]] [[1745]], at the [[Battle of Fontenoy]]. Allowed "their own way of fighting", each time they received the French fire Col. Sir Robert Munro ordered his men to "clap to the ground" while he himself, because of his corpulence, stood alone with the colours behind him. For the first time in a European battle they introduced a system of infantry tactics (alternatively firing and taking cover) that was not superseded. Springing up and closing with the enemy, they several times drove them back, and finished with a successful rear-guard action against French cavalry.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/><ref name="Reeling4"/><ref name="Cascade1">Your Clan Heritage, Clan Munro, Cascade Publishing Company.ISBN 0907614078.</ref>

====Jacobite rising of 1745====
In June 1745, a month after the battle of Fontenoy, [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet of Foulis]] was "rewarded" by an appointment to succeed General Ponsonby as Colonel of the English 37th Regiment of Foot. When the Jacobite Rising broke out, his friends in the Highlands hoped for his presence among them. One wrote that it would have been "the greatest service to His Majesty and the common cause", but it was not to be. The Munros supported the British government during the Jacobite uprisings.<ref name="Cascade1"/>

In the northern shires the [[Earl of Sutherland]] was the King's Lieutenant, and the Clan Munro, [[Clan Sutherland]], [[Clan MacKay]], [[Clan Ross]], [[Clan Gunn]], [[Clan Campbell]], and [[Clan Grant]] could be counted on to support the British Government, but the [[Clan Donald|Clan MacDonald]], [[Clan Mackenzie]], [[Clan MacKintosh]], [[Clan Menzies]], [[Clan Cameron]] and [[Clan Chisholm]] were Jacobites, and the [[Clan Fraser]] was divided owing to a disputed chiefship but they later joined the Jacobites.

Chief Colonel [[Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet]] had been fighting at the second [[Battle of Falkirk (1746)]] when, by account of the rebels, the English [[37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot|37th Regiment]] he was in command of ran away and he was surrounded and attacked by seven Cameron Jacobites, he killed at least two with his pike before being shot by a Jacobite commander with a pistol. The Jacobites wished to do special honour to their opponent: They buried Robert in the grave of Sir [[John de Graham]] who died at the first [[Battle of Falkirk (1298)]]. The graves can be seen in Falkirk churchyard.<ref name="MunroHistoryAnderson"/><ref name="Cascade1"/>

Robert's son [[Sir Harry Munro, 7th Baronet]] who served as an officer in [[Loudon's Highlanders]] had been captured at the [[Battle of Prestonpans]] in September 1745. He returned home to find Foulis Castle had been partially destroyed by Jacobites who set fire to it after the Battle of Falkirk. A few months after Falkirk the Jacobites were finally defeated at the [[Battle of Culloden]] by government forces. After the rising was suppressed a Munro Independent Company under Harry continued to police the Highlands and was disbanded in 1748. Harry set about rebuilding the castle as it is today incorporating what he could of the original building which now appears as a mansion house built in a formal Georgian style rather than the defensive fort it once was.<ref name="Magazine"/><ref name="Cascade1"/>

In 1754, Lieutenant [[Hector Munro, 8th of Novar]] was ordered to Badenoc to apprehend certain rebels in that district, with special instructions to apprehend John Dubh Cameron better known as "Sergent Mor" of Clan Cameron who Hector Munro successfully captured.<ref>Alexander MacKenzie. "History of the Munros of Fowlis". p.515 - 536</ref>

==Later clansmen==

;British Empire & Military
Sir [[Hector Munro, 8th of Novar]] (1726 - 1805) and [[Sir Thomas Munro, 1st Baronet of Linderits]] (1761 to 1827) were Scottish Generals in the British Army who had great success fighting in India. [[James Munro (VC)]] was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross during the Crimean War, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. During the [[First World War]], Lieutenant-General [[Sir Charles Monro, 1st Baronet|Sir Charles Monro, 1st Baronet of Bearcrofts]] ordered the retreat from Gallipoli once in command of British Forces. He later became Governor of Gibralter.
;Science & Medicine
Four direct generations, from the distinguished Auchinbowie-Bearcrofts branch of the clan, [[John Munro (surgeon)]], [[Alexander Monro (primus)]], [[Alexander Monro (secundus)]] and [[Alexander Monro (tertius)]] were professors of anatomy at [[Edinburgh University]].<ref>"The Monros of Auchinbowie" and Cognate Families by John Alexander Inglis. Edinburugh, Privately printed by T and A Constable. Printers to His Majesty. 1911.
Descended from the Munro family of Fowlis, the Monros were a notable dynasty of doctors to London in the 18th and 19th century where they were involved in early work on curing 'insanity'. Four generations occupied successively the position of (Principle) Physician of the notorious Bethlem Hospital (Bedlam). They were also leading members of a variety of important medical associations. Other members were painters, priests and philanthrophists of note and one [[Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro of Novar|H.A.J. Munro of Novar]] was an important early patron to J. M. W. Turner.
</ref>
;Mountaineering
[[Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet|Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet of Linderits]] (1856-1919) was a founding member of the [[Scottish Mountaineering Club]] and produced the first scientific list of all the mountains in Scotland over 3000ft.

==Church & Music==
The Munros made a significant early contribution to Scottish traditional arts in the fifteenth century with what is probably the earliest piece of pipe music written for the Pibroch. This piece, entitled Bealach na Broige has been attributed to one of the early Munro family and is the pipe music for the clan. The Munros were also prominent members of the Scottish clergy in the north of Scotland. Clansman [[John Munro of Tain]] is one example.

==Chiefs==
The succession of a [[clan chief|Highland Chief]] has traditionally followed the principle of [[agnatic seniority]] or ''patrilineal seniority'', whereby succession passes to the former Chief's closest male relative. The 11th Bt Foulis was succeeded by his edest daughter Eva Marion Munro as chief of the clan. Eva Marion Munro married Col C. H. Gascoigne, their son Patrick took the surname 'Munro' of his maternal grandfather to become clan chief.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clanmunro.org.uk/chief.htm|title=The Chief}}</ref> However was the Baronetcy of Foulis was succeeded to by Sir George Hamilton Munro, 12th Baronet (1864-1945). The current Baronet is '''Sir Ian Kenneth Munro, 17th Baronet of Foulis'''. ''See Main Article: [[Munro Baronets]]''.

Wareh: /* References */ Category:Latin commentators on Aristotle

{{for|the troubadour of the same name|Peire d'Alvernhe}}
'''Peter of Auvergne''' (died 1304) was a [[France|French]] philosopher and theologian.

He was a canon of [[Paris]]; some biographers have thought that he was [[Bishop of Clermont]]<ref>''[[Gallia Christiana]]'', II, 283</ref>, because a Bull of [[Boniface VIII]] of the year 1296 names as canon of Paris a certain Peter of Croc (Cros), already canon of Clermont<ref>Thomas, in "Mélanges d'arch. et d'hist.", Paris, 1882, II, 117-20</ref>; but it is more likely that they are distinct. Peter of [[Auvergne (province)|Auvergne]] was in Paris in 1301<ref>Script. Prædicat., I, 489</ref>, and, according to several accounts, was a pupil of [[Thomas Aquinas]]. In 1279, while the various nations of the [[University of Paris]] were quarrelling about the rectorship, [[Simon of Brion]], [[papal legate]], appointed Peter of Auvergne, to that office; in 1296 he was elected to it.

==Works==

His published works are:

*"Supplementum Commentarii S. Thomæ in tertium et quartum librum de cælo etmundo" (in "Opera S. Thomæ", II, ad finem)
*commentaries on [[Aristotle]]'s ''Meteororum'', ''De Juventute et senectute'', ''De longitudine et brevitate vitae'', ''De motu animalium''.

He has been credited with a supplement to Aquinas' ''[[Summa Theologica]]''.

Peter also left numerous treatises which are either at the [[Bibliothèque nationale de France]], or at l'[[Arsenal de Paris]]: "Sex quodlibeta" long discussions after the manner of St. Thomas; "Sophisma Determinatum"; "Quæstiones super totam logicam veterem Arist."; "Quæstiones super Perphyrium"; "In Arist. Metaphysicam"; "In libros Politicorum"; "De somno et vigilia"; "De veget. et plantis"; "De anima".

Clarendon Press</ref> The titles and a few fragments of his plays are preserved by [[Stobaeus]]. He wrote a ''Telephus'', and two historical plays ''Themistocles'', of which we have a three line fragment, and the ''Men of Pherae'' (''Pheraioi''), which dealt with the death of [[Jason of Pherae|Jason]], the cruel tyrant of [[Pherae]].<ref>P. E. Easterling, Bernard Knox, (1989), ''Greek Literature'', page 92.

In the course of time, [[agriculture]], [[cooking]], [[wine]], houses, and [[cities]] were introduced, [[civilisation]] was born, and people buried their dead so that people would not be reminded of their earlier cannibalism.<ref>''Theories of Progress'', in Sue Blundell, (1986), ''The Origins of Civilization in Greek & Roman Thought'', page 187.

Archimedes-Palimpsest

[[Image:Stomachion.JPG|thumb|right|''Stomachion'' is a [[dissection puzzle]] in the [[Archimedes Palimpsest]]]]
The '''Archimedes Palimpsest''' is a [[palimpsest]] on [[parchment]] in the form of a [[codex]] which originally was a copy of an otherwise unknown work of the ancient [[mathematician]], [[physicist]], and [[engineer]] [[Archimedes]] of [[Syracuse, Italy|Syracuse]] and other authors. Archimedes lived in the [[3rd century BC|third century BC]], but the copy was made in the [[10th century]] by an anonymous scribe. In the [[12th century]] the codex was unbound and washed, in order that the parchment leaves could be folded in half and reused for a Christian [[liturgy|liturgical]] text. It was a book of nearly 90 pages before being made a palimpsest of 177 pages; the older leaves folded so that each became two leaves of the liturgical book.

In [[1906]] it was briefly inspected in [[Constantinople]] and was published, from photographs, by the [[Denmark|Danish]] [[philology|philologist]] [[Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854-1928)|Johan Ludvig Heiberg]]; shortly thereafter Archimedes' [[Greek language|Greek]] text was translated into [[English language|English]] by [[Thomas Heath]]. Before that it was not widely known among mathematicians, physicists, or historians. It contains

*"Equilibrium of Planes"
*"Spiral Lines"
*"The Measurement of the Circle"
*"Sphere and Cylinder"
*"On Floating Bodies" (only known copy in Greek)
*"The Method of Mechanical Theorems" (only known copy)
*"[[Stomachion]]" (only known copy)

The palimpsest also contains speeches by the 4th century BC politician [[Hypereides]], and a commentary on [[Aristotle]]'s [[Categories (Aristotle)|Categories]] by [[Alexander of Aphrodisias]].[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6591221.stm]

==Mathematical content==
The most remarkable of the above works is ''The Method'', of which the palimpsest contains the only known copy. In his other works, Archimedes often proves the equality of two areas or volumes with his method of double [[reductio ad absurdum|contradiction]]: assuming that the first is bigger than the second leads to a contradiction, as does the assumption that the first be smaller than the second; so the two must be equal. These proofs, still considered to be rigorous and correct, used what we might now consider secondary-school [[geometry]] with rare brilliance. Later writers often criticized Archimedes for not explaining how he arrived at his results in the first place. This explanation is contained in ''The Method''.

Essentially, the method consists in dividing the two areas or volumes in infinitely many stripes of [[infinitesimal]] width, and "weighing" the stripes of the first figure against those of the second, evaluated in terms of a finite [[Egyptian fraction]] series. He considered this method as a useful [[heuristic]] but always made sure to prove the results found in this manner using the rigorous arithmetic methods mentioned above.

He was able to solve problems that would now be treated by [[integral calculus]], which was formally invented in the [[17th century]] by [[Isaac Newton]] and [[Leibniz|Gottfried Leibniz]], working independently. Among those problems were that of calculating the [[center of gravity]] of a solid [[Sphere|hemisphere]], the center of gravity of a [[frustum]] of a circular [[paraboloid]], and the area of a region bounded by a [[parabola]] and one of its [[secant]] lines. Contrary to exaggerations found in some [[20th century]] calculus textbooks, he did not use anything like [[Riemann sum]]s, either in the work embodied in this palimpsest or in any of his other works. (For explicit details of the method used, see [[Archimedes' use of infinitesimals]].)

A problem solved exclusively in the ''Method'' is the calculation of the volume of a cylindrical wedge, a result that reappears as theorem XVII (schema XIX) of [[Johannes Kepler|Kepler]]'s ''Stereometria''.

Some pages of the ''Method'' remained unused by the author of the Palimpsest and thus they are still lost. Between them, an announced result concerned the volume of the intersection of two cylinders, a figure that [[Tom M. Apostol|Apostol]] and Mnatsakian have renamed ''n = 4 Archimedean globe'' (and the half of it, ''n = 4 Archimedean dome''), whose volume relates to the ''n''-polygonal pyramid.

In Heiberg's time, much attention was paid to Archimedes' brilliant use of infinitesimals to solve problems about areas, volumes, and centers of gravity. Less attention was given to the [[Ostomachion|''Stomachion'']], a problem treated in the Palimpsest that appears to deal with a children's puzzle. Reviel Netz of [[Stanford University]] has argued that Archimedes discussed the ''number of ways'' to solve the puzzle. Modern [[combinatorics]] leads to the result that this number is 17,152. Due to the fragmentary state of the palimpsest it is unknown whether or not Archimedes came to the same result. This may have been the most sophisticated work in the field of [[combinatorics]] in Greek antiquity.

==Modern history==
From the [[1920s]], the manuscript lay unknown in the Paris apartment of a collector of manuscripts and his heirs. In [[1998]] the ownership of the palimpsest was disputed in federal court in New York in the case of the ''Greek Orthodox [[Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem|Patriarchate of Jerusalem]] versus [[Christie's]], Inc''. At some time in the distant past, the Archimedes manuscript had lain in the library of [[Mar Saba]], near Jerusalem, a monastery bought by the Patriarchate in 1625. The plaintiff contended that the palimpsest had been stolen from one of its monasteries in the 1920s. Judge [[Kimba Wood]] decided in favor of Christie's Auction House on [[laches (equity)|laches]] grounds, and the palimpsest was bought for $2 million by an anonymous buyer who worked in the [[information technology]] field.

The palimpsest is now at the [[Walters Art Museum]] in [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]], where conservation continues (as it had suffered considerably from [[mold]]).

A team of imaging scientists from the [[Rochester Institute of Technology]] and Johns Hopkins University has used computer processing of digital images from various spectral bands, including ultraviolet and visible light, to reveal more of Archimedes' text. Dr. Reviel Netz [http://www.archimedespalimpsest.org/scholarship_netz2.html] of [[Stanford University]] has been trying to fill in gaps in Heiberg's account with these images.

Sometime after 1938, one owner of the manuscript forged four Byzantine-style religious images in the manuscript in an effort to increase its value. It appeared that these had rendered the underlying text forever illegible. However, in May 2005, highly-focused [[X-rays]] produced at the [[Stanford Linear Accelerator Center]] in Menlo Park, California, were used to begin deciphering the parts of the 174-page text that have not yet been revealed. The production of x-ray [[fluorescence]] was described by Keith Hodgson, director of SSRL. "[[Synchrotron light]] is created when electrons traveling near the speed of light take a curved path around a storage ring—emitting electromagnetic light in X-ray through infrared wavelengths. The resulting light beam has characteristics that make it ideal for revealing the intricate architecture and utility of many kinds of matter—in this case, the previously hidden work of one of the founding fathers of all science." [http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/may25/archimedes-052505.html]

In April 2007 it was announced that a new text had been found in the palimpsest, which was a commentary on the work of [[Aristotle]] attributed to [[Alexander of Aphrodisias]]. Doctor William Noel, the curator of manuscripts at the [[Walters Art Museum]], said in an interview: "You start thinking striking one palimpsest is gold, and striking two is utterly astonishing. But then something even more extraordinary happened." This referred to the previous discovery of a text by [[Hypereides]], an [[Athenian]] politician from the [[4th century BC]], which has also been found within the palimpsest.

[[Image:Stomachion.JPG|thumb|right|''Stomachion'' is a [[dissection puzzle]] in the [[Archimedes Palimpsest]]]]
The '''Archimedes Palimpsest''' is a [[palimpsest]] on [[parchment]] in the form of a [[codex]] which originally was a copy of an otherwise unknown work of the ancient [[mathematician]], [[physicist]], and [[engineer]] [[Archimedes]] of [[Syracuse, Italy|Syracuse]] and other authors. Archimedes lived in the [[3rd century BC|third century BC]], but the copy was made in the [[10th century]] by an anonymous scribe. In the [[12th century]] the codex was unbound and washed, in order that the parchment leaves could be folded in half and reused for a Christian [[liturgy|liturgical]] text. It was a book of nearly 90 pages before being made a palimpsest of 177 pages; the older leaves folded so that each became two leaves of the liturgical book. The erasure was incomplete, and Archimedes' work is now readable using digital processing of images produced by [[ultraviolet]], [[X-ray]], and visible light.[http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/archimedes.html]

The '''James A. Farley Building''', [[New York City]]'s '''[[General Post Office]]''', is located at 421 [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]], between [[31st Street (Manhattan)|31st Street]] and [[33rd Street (Manhattan)|33rd Street]] in the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[Manhattan]], across the street from [[Pennsylvania Station (New York)|Pennsylvania Station]] and [[Madison Square Garden]]. The Post Office is officially named "The James A. Farley Building" and consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley building is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], and occupies two full city blocks, an eight-acre footprint straddling the tracks of the [[Northeast Corridor]] (Farley Corridor) in western [[Midtown Manhattan]]. The building was designated in 1982 as a monument to the political career of former Postmaster General [[James Farley]].

The Farley Post Office holds the distinction of being the only Post Office in [[New York City]] that is open to the public 24 hours and 7 days a week -- with the exception of certain holidays.

The James A. Farley Building in New York boasts the longest [[giant order]] Corinthian colonnade in the world.
==History==
[[Image:FarleyInterior.JPG|thumb|left|The interior of the post office]] [[image:Jim Farley.gif|thumb|200px| Postmaster General James A. Farley]] The James A. Farley Building was constructed in two stages. The original monumental front half was built in 1912 and opened for postal business in 1914; the building was doubled in 1934 by James A.Farley as Postmaster General, replacing the 1878 Post Office at Park Row and Broadway. Where it backs up to Ninth Avenue: along the side streets, McKim, Mead, and White's range, which continues its Corinthian giant order as pilasters between the window bays, was simply repeated in order to carry the facade to Ninth Avenue. Farley, as Postmaster General, oversaw the hiring of McKim, Mead, and White to construct the "Farley Annex", as not to disturb the continuity of the original monumental architecture of the structure. This practice of the federal government hiring private firms to provide the architecture of the country's post offices was put to a halt in 1934, a decision that was repealed in 1939.

The monumental façade on [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]] was conceived as a [[Corinthian order|Corinthian colonnade]] braced at the end by two pavilions. The imposing design was meant to match in strength the colonnade of [[Pennsylvania Station (New York)|Pennsylvania Station]] (McKim, Mead, and White, 1910) that originally faced it across the avenue. An unbroken flight of steps the full length of the colonnade provides access, for the main floor devoted to customer services is above a functional basement level that rises out of a dry moat giving light and air to workspaces below. Each of the square end pavilions is capped with a low saucer dome, expressed on the exterior as a low stepped pyramid. Inside, the visitor finds an unbroken vista down a long gallery that parallels the colonnaded front.

The building prominently bears the inscription: ''Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds,'' which is frequently mistaken as an [[United States Postal Service creed|official motto]] of the [[United States Postal Service]]. It was actually supplied by William Mitchell Kendall of the firm of [[McKim, Mead & White]], the architects who designed the Farley Building and the original Pennsylvania Station in the same [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts style]]. The sentence is taken from [[Herodotus]]' ''[[Histories (Herodotus)|Histories]]'' (Book 8, Ch. 98) and describes the faithful service of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian]] system of mounted postal messengers under [[Xerxes I of Persia]]. The USPS does not actually have an official motto or creed, but nonetheless the inscription on the building is universally recognized as such.

Upon opening in 1914 it was named the Pennsylvania Terminal. In July 1918, the building was renamed the General Post Office Building, and in 1982, renamed once more as the James A. Farley Building.( 97th Congress, H.Res. 368 3/2/1982). [[James Farley]] was the nation's 53rd [[United States Postmaster General|Postmaster General]] and served from 1933 to 1940. Farley (a native New Yorker) was instrumental in the political careers of Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt (serving as campaign manager to both). James A. Farley was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1940 (only the second Roman Catholic to receive delegates towards such a nomination behind Alfred E. Smith and before John F. Kennedy) and publicly stood against a presidential third term. Farley is also considered the finest Athletic Commissioner/Boxing Commissioner in New York State history. The James A. Farley award is given by the Boxing Writers Association for honesty and integrity in the sport of boxing.
James A. Farley is the first nationally successful (Roman Catholic) Irish American politician. James A. Farley was honored in 2007 as one of the [[Archdiocese of New York]] Bicentennial people in commemoration of the Archdiocese 200th anniversary.

:''"...the life of James A. Farley should serve as an example for present and future generations of Americans of the vital contributions which individual citizens can make to the life of the nation through diligent public service..."
House Resolution 368, 97th Congress,
2nd Session, March 2 1982

The Farley Building was instrumental to maintaining service levels in the [[New York City]] area following the [[September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]] when it served as a back up to operations for the [[Church Street Station Post Office]] located across the street from the [[World Trade Center]] complex. Advances in automated mail processing technology, coupled with adjustments to postal distribution and transportation networks now make it feasible to absorb associated mail volumes at the Morgan Center.

==Future plans==
The Farley Building is planned to be used as a new entrance and concourse for Penn Station by the Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the [[Urban Development Corporation|Empire State Development Corporation]]. Beyond retail lobby services, other postal operations remaining in the building will include [[Express Mail]], mail delivery, truck platforms, and a stamp depository. Administrative offices for the Postal Service's New York District will also be headquartered within Farley.

All mail processing operations will be relocated one block away to the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center. All other administrative functions now in the Farley Building will be moved to the Church Street Processing and Distribution Center in Manhattan. Approximately 2,500 postal employees worked in the Farley Building as of 2002. Once operations and administrative offices are moved, approximately 900 employees will remain in their current location.

U.S. Senator Charles Schumer said "Throughout his career, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan has always recognized that transportation infrastructure was the key to New York remaining the capital of the world. And he knew it meant more than just bricks and mortar, it meant grand architecture that inspires our citizens and enobles our City. And nowhere was Pat Moynihan more wise than on the subject of Penn Station, once the most grand and beautiful of public works, now little more than a squalid basement. The new Farley Station will be a magnificent addition to our City. It is a great day for New York and we owe our thanks to Pat Moynihan's tireless efforts."

When [[Moynihan Station]] opens, Amtrak and NJ Transit passengers will be able to board and exit trains from either The Farley Post Office or the previously existing part of Penn Station which will include a newly designed station over the existing site of Madison Square Garden.

In additions, plans are being drawn up for a new version of Madison Square Garden in Farley's western Annex. James A. Farley was athletic Commissioner of New York State from 1923-1933. The new Garden which would share space within the Historic Farley Building would replace the current Garden located a half-block away. The current proposals call for the state to purchase the historic Farley Complex, building Madison Square Garden within the Farley Annex while constructing a mixed use post office/entrance to [[Moynihan Station]] within the historic Farley Post Office.<ref>[http://newpennstation.org/site Newpennstation.org]</ref>

'''William Grocyn''' ([[1446]]? - [[1519]]) was an English scholar, a friend of [[Erasmus]].

He was born at [[Colerne]], [[Wiltshire]]. Intended by his parents for the church, he was sent to [[Winchester College]], and in 1465 was elected to a scholarship at [[New College, Oxford]]. In [[1467]] he became a fellow, and among his pupils was [[William Warham]], afterwards [[Archbishop of Canterbury]]. In [[1479]] Grocyn accepted the rectory of [[Newton Longville]], in [[Buckinghamshire]], but continued to live at Oxford. As reader in divinity at [[Magdalen College, Oxford|Magdalen College]] in [[1481]], he held a disputation with [[John Taylor (1400s)|John Taylor]], professor of divinity, in the presence of [[Richard III of England|King Richard III]]; the king acknowledged his skill as a debater by the present of a deer and five marks. In [[1485]] Grocyn became prebendary of [[Lincoln Cathedral]]. In about 1488 he left England for [[Italy]], and before his return in 1491 he had visited [[Florence]], [[Rome]] and [[Padua]], and studied [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Latin]] under [[Demetrius Chalcondyles]] and [[Politian]]. As lecturer at [[Exeter College, Oxford]] he helped indoctrinate his countrymen in the new Greek learning.

[[Erasmus]] says in one of his letters that Grocyn taught Greek at Oxford before his visit to Italy. The Warden of New College, [[Thomas Chaundler]], invited [[Cornelius Vitelli]], then on a visit to Oxford, to act as ''praelector''. This was about 1475, and as Vitelli was certainly familiar with Greek literature, Grocyn may have learned Greek from him. He seems to have lived in Oxford until 1499, but by the time his friend [[John Colet]] became dean of [[St Paul's Cathedral|St Paul's]] in [[1504]] he was living in [[London]]. He was chosen by Colet to deliver lectures in St Paul's. Having at first denounced those who impugned the authenticity of the ''Hierarchia ecclesiastica'' ascribed to [[Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite|Dionysius the Areopagite]], he was led to modify his views by further investigation, and openly declared that he had been mistaken. He also counted [[Thomas Linacre]], [[William Lilye]], [[William Latimer]] and [[Thomas More]] among his friends, and Erasmus writing in 1514 says that he was supported by Grocyn in London, and calls him "the friend and preceptor of us all."

He held several preferments, but his generosity to his friends involved him in continual difficulties, and though in 1506 he was appointed on Archbishop Warham's recommendation master or warden of All Hallows College at [[Maidstone]] in [[Kent]], he was still obliged to borrow from his friends, and even to pledge his plate as a security. He died in 1519, and was buried in the collegiate church at Maidstone.

Linacre acted as his executor, and spent the money he received on alms for the poor and the purchase of books for poor scholars. With the exception of a few lines of [[Latin]] verse on a lady who snowballed him, and a letter to [[Aldus Manutius]] at the head of Linacre's translation of [[Proclus]]'s ''Sphaera'' (Venice, 1499), Grocyn left no literary proof of his scholarship. His proposal to translate [[Aristotle]] in company with Linacre and Latimer was never carried out. [[Anthony Wood]] assigns some Latin works to Grocyn, but on insufficient authority. By Erasmus he has been described as "''vir severissimae castissimae vitae, ecclesiasticarum constitutionum observantissimus pene usque ad superstitionem, scholasticae theologiae ad unguem doctus ac natura etiam acerrimi judicii, demum in omni disciplinarum genere exacte versatus''" (''Declarationes ad censures facultatis theoiogiae Parisianae'', 1522).

An account of Grocyn by [[M. Burrows]] appeared in the [[Oxford Historical Society]]'s ''Collectanea'' (1890).

The '''James A. Farley Building''', [[New York City]]'s '''[[General Post Office]]''', is located at 421 [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]], between [[31st Street (Manhattan)|31st Street]] and [[33rd Street (Manhattan)|33rd Street]] in the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[Manhattan]], across the street from [[Pennsylvania Station (New York)|Pennsylvania Station]] and [[Madison Square Garden]]. The Post Office is officially named "The James A. Farley Building" and consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley building is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], and occupies two full city blocks, an eight-acre footprint straddling the tracks of the [[Northeast Corridor]] (Farley Corridor) in western [[Midtown Manhattan]]. The building was designated in 1982 as a monument to the political career of former Postmaster General [[James Farley]].

The Farley Post Office holds the distinction of being the only Post Office in [[New York City]] that is open to the public 24 hours and 7 days a week -- with the exception of certain holidays.

The James A. Farley Building in New York boasts the longest [[giant order]] Corinthian colonnade in the world.
==History==
[[Image:FarleyInterior.JPG|thumb|left|The interior of the post office]] [[image:Jim Farley.gif|thumb|200px| Postmaster General James A. Farley]] The James A. Farley Building was constructed in two stages. The original monumental front half was built in 1912 and opened for postal business in 1914; the building was doubled in 1934 by James A.Farley as Postmaster General, replacing the 1878 Post Office at Park Row and Broadway. Where it backs up to Ninth Avenue: along the side streets, McKim, Mead, and White's range, which continues its Corinthian giant order as pilasters between the window bays, was simply repeated in order to carry the facade to Ninth Avenue. Farley, as Postmaster General, oversaw the hiring of McKim, Mead, and White to construct the "Farley Annex", as not to disturb the continuity of the original monumental architecture of the structure. This practice of the federal government hiring private firms to provide the architecture of the country's post offices was put to a halt in 1934, a decision that was repealed in 1939.

The monumental façade on [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]] was conceived as a [[Corinthian order|Corinthian colonnade]] braced at the end by two pavilions. The imposing design was meant to match in strength the colonnade of [[Pennsylvania Station (New York)|Pennsylvania Station]] (McKim, Mead, and White, 1910) that originally faced it across the avenue. An unbroken flight of steps the full length of the colonnade provides access, for the main floor devoted to customer services is above a functional basement level that rises out of a dry moat giving light and air to workspaces below. Each of the square end pavilions is capped with a low saucer dome, expressed on the exterior as a low stepped pyramid. Inside, the visitor finds an unbroken vista down a long gallery that parallels the colonnaded front.

The building prominently bears the inscription: ''Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds,'' which is frequently mistaken as an [[United States Postal Service creed|official motto]] of the [[United States Postal Service]]. It was actually supplied by William Mitchell Kendall of the firm of [[McKim, Mead & White]], the architects who designed the Farley Building and the original Pennsylvania Station in the same [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts style]]. The sentence is taken from [[Herodotus]]' ''[[Histories (Herodotus)|Histories]]'' (Book 8, Ch. 98) and describes the faithful service of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian]] system of mounted postal messengers under [[Xerxes I of Persia]]. The USPS does not actually have an official motto or creed, but nonetheless the inscription on the building is universally recognized as such.

Upon opening in 1914 it was named the Pennsylvania Terminal. In July 1918, the building was renamed the General Post Office Building, and in 1982, renamed once more as the James A. Farley Building.( 97th Congress, H.Res. 368 3/2/1982). [[James Farley]] was the nation's 53rd [[United States Postmaster General|Postmaster General]] and served from 1933 to 1940. Farley (a native New Yorker) was instrumental in the political careers of Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt (serving as campaign manager to both). James A. Farley was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1940 (only the second Roman Catholic to receive delegates towards such a nomination behind Alfred E. Smith and before John F. Kennedy) and publicly stood against a presidential third term. Farley is also considered the finest Athletic Commissioner/Boxing Commissioner in New York State history. The James A. Farley award is given by the Boxing Writers Association for honesty and integrity in the sport of boxing.
James A. Farley is the first nationally successful (Roman Catholic) Irish American politician. James A. Farley was honored in 2007 as one of the [[Archdiocese of New York]] Bicentennial people in commemoration of the Archdiocese 200th anniversary.

:''"...the life of James A. Farley should serve as an example for present and future generations of Americans of the vital contributions which individual citizens can make to the life of the nation through diligent public service..."
House Resolution 368, 97th Congress,
2nd Session, March 2 1982

The Farley Building was instrumental to maintaining service levels in the [[New York City]] area following the [[September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]] when it served as a back up to operations for the [[Church Street Station Post Office]] located across the street from the [[World Trade Center]] complex. Advances in automated mail processing technology, coupled with adjustments to postal distribution and transportation networks now make it feasible to absorb associated mail volumes at the Morgan Center.

==Future plans==
The Farley Building is planned to be used as a new entrance and concourse for Penn Station by the Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the [[Urban Development Corporation|Empire State Development Corporation]]. Beyond retail lobby services, other postal operations remaining in the building will include [[Express Mail]], mail delivery, truck platforms, and a stamp depository. Administrative offices for the Postal Service's New York District will also be headquartered within Farley.

All mail processing operations will be relocated one block away to the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center. All other administrative functions now in the Farley Building will be moved to the Church Street Processing and Distribution Center in Manhattan. Approximately 2,500 postal employees worked in the Farley Building as of 2002. Once operations and administrative offices are moved, approximately 900 employees will remain in their current location.

U.S. Senator Charles Schumer said "Throughout his career, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan has always recognized that transportation infrastructure was the key to New York remaining the capital of the world. And he knew it meant more than just bricks and mortar, it meant grand architecture that inspires our citizens and enobles our City. And nowhere was Pat Moynihan more wise than on the subject of Penn Station, once the most grand and beautiful of public works, now little more than a squalid basement. The new Farley Station will be a magnificent addition to our City. It is a great day for New York and we owe our thanks to Pat Moynihan's tireless efforts."

When [[Moynihan Station]] opens, Amtrak and NJ Transit passengers will be able to board and exit trains from either The Farley Post Office or the previously existing part of Penn Station which will include a newly designed station over the existing site of Madison Square Garden.

In additions, plans are being drawn up for a new version of Madison Square Garden in Farley's western Annex. James A. Farley was athletic Commissioner of New York State from 1923-1933. The new Garden which would share space within the Historic Farley Building would replace the current Garden located a half-block away. The current proposals call for the state to purchase the historic Farley Complex, building Madison Square Garden within the Farley Annex while constructing a mixed use post office/entrance to [[Moynihan Station]] within the historic Farley Post Office. <ref>[http://newpennstation.org/site Newpennstation.org]</ref>

==Handicapped access==
Handicapped access is extremely poor in the current building. Patrons who require access to the building must call to request access, wait on hold, then ask for someone to let them in the back of the building or locate a police officer on the perimeter of the large block, and ask the police officer to contact someone inside the post office building to help them.
