Below is an Interview with the Publisher of the English-Language Edition. by Shel Horowitz The Mercator Atlas of Europe is an amazing and unusual book. Its publisher describes it as, "The Mercator Atlas of Europe: 17 facsimile prints from a long- lost 16th-century atlas by Mercator and a richly illustrated large format book, enclosed in a linen portfolio and laminated slipcase." But that's only part of the story. This elegant volume not only includes a facsimile of an atlas by famed 16-th century cartographer Gerardus Mercator (inventor of the Mercator Projection, which allowed sailorsfor the first timeto plot a straight-line course on a map), but also contains several scholarly monographs, as well as numerous full-color ancient maps from Mercator, his sons, and many of his contemporaries. The maps representing the original atlas are presented as unbound, fold-out sheets, separated by country or region. Shel Horowitz, editor of Global Arts Review and Global Travel Review, talked with Liz Oakley of Walking Tree Press, the book's American publisher.

Father Occupation: Artisan, Cleric His father was a poor shoemaker. However, Mercator was reared by an uncle, who was an affluent ecclesiastic. The uncle's financial status was the one that determined Mercator's circumstances. 3. Nationality Birth: Rupelmonde, Flanders Career: Germany Death: Duisberg, Germany 4. Education Schooling: Louvain, M.A. His uncle, Gisbert Mercator, sent him to school at 'sHertogenbosch at the House of the Bretheren of the Common Life, probably as preparation to enter the priesthood. 1530, entered University of Louvain, principal studies were philosophy and theology. I assume B.A. 1532, M.A., Louvain. After graduation he studied mathematics and astronomy privately under Gemma Frisius, and acquired engraving skills. 5. Religion Affiliation: Catholic, Protestant I find it impossible to tell from what follows; Cleves was Protestant, but he had innumerable Catholic patrons. 1544, accused of heresy and imprisoned several months be- fore being released for lack of evidence. This occurred in Catholic territory. Note that he moved to Cleves shortly.

87. The Mercator Projection gerardus mercator An article by Fred Roeder in the Professional Surveyor describeswhy and how gerardus mercator developed The mercator Chart. http://baby.indstate.edu/gga/gga_cart/gecart86.htm

THE MERCATOR CHART Gerardus Mercator Developed for navigation, the strength of the Mercator Chart is its conformality. That is, at any intersection of longitude and latitude, it maintains all angular relationships thus correct azimuths. For a navigator, then, a straight line plotted from point A to point B on the chart would represent a rhumb line. A rhumb crosses all meridians at a constant azimuth allowing the navigator to set a compass orientation and proceed forthright. On The Mercator Chart a rhumb is always a straight line, whereas the corresponding great circle is a curved line (unlike the Gnomonic where the converse is true). Tissot's Indicatrix indicates numerically the property of conformality. Thus it is that The Mercator Chart is not a good map for global viewing (a better one for viewing might be Gall's ) but excellent for navigation.

Géographe, cartographe et mathématicien Né: Rupelmonde 5/03/1512 Décédé: Duisburg 2/12/1594 Le vrai nom de Gerardus Mercator était Gerhard Kremer. Il est né à Rupelmonde (Flandre), et a fait ses études à l'université de Louvain. En 1537, il a dessiné sa première carte. En 1568, il a réalisé un système de projection de cartes qui porte maintenant son nom. Dans ce système, des lignes parallèles représentent les méridiens, et les parallèles sont des lignes droites qui coupent les méridiens à angle droit. Très utilisée en navigation, la projection de Mercator permet de tracer une route en ligne droite entre deux points sur la carte et de la suivre sans modifier la direction de la boussole.

93. FGB V8n1 MERCATOR Une Initiative Canadienne Translate this page mercator une initiative canadienne. Nous croyons que ces efforts seront toutautant révolutionnaires que le furent ceux de mercator à son époque. http://cgdi.gc.ca/iacg/bulletin/fgbv8n1/v8n1p1f.html

MERCATOR: une initiative canadienne C'est à Duisburg, dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Allemagne, que Mercator mit au point en 1569 la projection cartographique qui le rendit célèbre. Il préférait la carte aux "lignes droites" parce qu'elle permettait aux navigateurs de garder un même cap sur de longues distances plutôt que de modifier constamment la direction de leur navire. On peut établir un parallèle entre cet accomplissement et des travaux menés de nos jours dans les domaines du stockage, de l'accès et de l'affichage des données géospatiales. Nous croyons que ces efforts seront tout autant révolutionnaires que le furent ceux de Mercator à son époque. Mercator rêvait de publier un recueil de cartes qui fournirait une histoire du monde depuis la création. La première édition de ce recueil, appelée l'"Atlas" parut en 1569. Cet important effort de pionnier nous hante encore aujourd'hui. Dans le contexte du 20e siècle, le rêve de Mercator pourrait être transposé en un "Atlas" en ligne, une sorte d'entrepôt de données géospatiales relié à des portes numériques. Cet "Atlas" électronique offrira à l'usager de demain via l'inforoute une souplesse sans borne en matière d'exploitation de données géospatiales.
