SCHONER (John), a German mathematician, was born 
at Carlstadt, in Franconia, in 1477. He studied at Nurem¬ 
berg and Erfurt, w’here he applied himself to philosophy, 
and other branches of general science. He was settled some 
time as a clergyman at Bamberg, but, on the recommendation 
of the celebrated Melanchthon, he was, in 1528, made pro¬ 
fessor of the mathematics in the gymnasium of Nuremberg, 
where he published his astronomical tables, called, on ac¬ 
count of their clearness, “ Resolutae,” dedicated to the 
magistrates of that city, in the year 1536. Schoner, like 
many of his contemporaries, was much addicted to judicial 
astrology. He w r as, however, of considerable benefit to 
science by his labours. He died at Nuremberg, in the year 
1547. After his death, his son published his works in 1551, 
under the title “ Opera Mathematica Joannis Schoneri 
Carolostadii, in unum Volumen congesta et publicse Utili- 
tati Studiosorum omnium ac celebri Famae Norici Nominis 
dicata. Denuo ab authoris filio correcta et locupletata." 
The son, who was editor of this work, published a work on 
dialling, which has been sometimes, though erroneously, 
ascribed to the father. It is entitled “ Gnomonice Andreae 
Schoneri.”
