Een van de grootste cartografen van deze periode was zonder twijfel Gerardus Mercator. Hij ontwikkelde een wereldkaart die een grote betekenis had voor de scheepvaart. Gerard Mercator, wereldkaart in atlasvorm, detail, pag.29/30, collectie Maritiem Museum Rotterdam Gerardus Mercator (verlatiniseerde vorm van Gerard Kremer) werd in 1512 in het Vlaamse plaatsje Rupelmonde geboren. Op twintigjarige leeftijd ging hij naar Leuven om filosofie en mathematica te studeren. Daar legde hij zich toe op het maken van kaarten en globes en vervaardigde hij in opdracht van Keizer Karel V ook astronomische instrumenten. In 1552 vertrok hij naar Duisburg waar hij zijn cartografisch werk voortzette. Hier ontwikkelde hij de beroemde wereldkaart voor de zeevaart, op basis van de projectiemethode die zijn naam draagt.

    However he always signed his most important work as gerardus mercator Rupelmondanusand thus showed his attachment with his native region.  
    http://mathsforeurope.digibel.be/mercator.htm
    
    Extractions: Mercator Gerard Mercator was born as Gerard de Cremer on March 5th in 1512 in Rupelmonde, which is located close to Antwerp and Sint-Niklaas in the northern part of Belgium. However he always signed his most important work as Gerardus Mercator Rupelmondanus and thus showed his attachment with his native region. His father, a shoemaker, didn't have enough money to let his son study. But fortunately his uncle Gijsbrecht, a priest, was very generous. Thanks to him Gerard could study Latin and go the university of Leuven. There he translated his name into Gerardus Mercator b ecause at that time it was very stylish to have an latin name. At the university, Gerard studied humanities and received his degree in philosophy of 'magister artium' in 1532. After a short stay in Antwerp, he returned to Louvain in 1535 because he was especially interested in cosmography and the study of heaven and earth. Mercator learnt to make instruments like pairs of compasses, sundials and compasses, and also carts in order to make a living. At the age of 24 he married Barbara Schellekens with whom he got 6 children. In 1537, he published his first map, which was immediately successful : a map of Palestine meant to illustrate texts from the Bible. The following year, he published a small map of the world in double hart-shaped projection. Mercator became famous in 1540 with his Map of Flanders that was dedicated to the emperor Charles the 5th. This map was quite accurate because of the use of

    Extractions: Er bestaat geen landkaart zonder meer of minder sterke vertekening van de werkelijkheid. Het hoort nu eenmaal tot de onmogelijkheden om de bolle wereld netjes op een plat vlak over te brengen. Pers een sinaasappel uit en druk zo'n leeg halfrond op een plat bordje. De scheuren die dan ontstaan zijn op een landkaart nooit zichtbaar, dus elke kaart bedriegt wel een beetje. Sommige kaartenmakers gingen daarin heel ver en slaagden er tegelijkertijd in beroemd te worden, nota bene door de kwaliteit van hun sterk vertekenend product. Het zou niet mogen bestaan dat iemand met goed gevolg de zeevaartschool doorloopt en dan ene Gerardus Mercator niet kent. De man leeft van 1512 tot 1594 en zet de wereld op een merkwaardige manier op de kaart, maar wel zo dat zeevarenden, zeker in die tijd, zich nauwelijks een makkelijker hulpmiddel kunnen voorstellen dan een Mercatorkaart. Zeker zo bont maakt Mercator het met de meridianen of lengtecirkels: de denkbeeldige halve cirkels tussen de noord- en de zuidpool. Die tekent hij als rechte lijnen, haaks op de breedtecirkels. Bij de evenaar komt dat exact overeen met de werkelijkheid, maar bij de polen deugt er natuurlijk niets van. Op een globe komen alle meridianen daar samen en die van Mercator liggen onder- en bovenaan zijn vel papier even ver uit elkaar als bij de evenaar. Hij heeft dus op zijn kaart een noord- en een zuidpool van 40.000 kilometer 'breed'. Zover laat hij het echter niet komen. De remedie is simpel: zet nooit de noord- of zuidpool op de kaart.

From 1537 to 1540 he surveyed and mapped Flanders . In 1538 he produced his first map of the world (based on Ptolemy's map); in 1541 he made a terrestrial, and in 1551 a celestial, globe. He was appointed (1552) to the chair of cosmography in Duisburg. In 1554 he made a six-sheet map of Europe. The first map using the projection (the translation of the spherical earth to a two-dimensional flat plane) that bears his name appeared in 1569. Accurate in equitorial regions but distorting the size and shape of numerous other areas of the world, the Mercator projection has been more generally used than any other projection for navigators' world maps. In 1585, Mercator began a work (for which he coined the word atlas ) that included many of his earlier maps; the atlas was completed by his son and published in 1594. Mercator did cartographical work for Charles V and was cosmographer to the duke of JUlich and Cleves. He wrote several books on subjects such as ancient geography and the science and mathematics of geography and cartography.

    Extractions: Está considerado como padre de la cartografía moderna. Fue un hombre hábil para la construcción de diversos instrumento así como un notable cartógrafo. Mercator nació en Amberes en 1512. Curso estudios en la Universidad de Lovaina y se graduó en geografía, geometría y astronomía. Fundo su propio negocio y dirigió su actividad al grabado de mapas y cartas de navegar. En 1522 se trasladó a Duisburgo, y empezo a trabajar en su famoso mapamundi publicado en 1569, que reproducía las costas de América central y meridional, comprendía un trazado más exacto de Asia, incluyendo el sudeste de este continente. Aunque el mayor logro de este mapa fue la proyección cilíndrica,que lleva su nombre y de la que viene la proyección mas empleada hoy en día la UTM (Universal Transversa de Mercator). Está dibujado según la proyección de Mercator, con lo cual se exageran las masas continentales desconocidas en las regiones polares. Aparece también un versículo del Salmo 24 que dice:"Del Señor es la Tierra y cuanto la llena, el orbe de la Tierra y cuanto la habita." Él pretendía construir un mapa en el que se trazara una línea recta que uniera dos puntos y esta cortara con el mismo ángulo a todos los meridianos (Loxodrómica). Los meridianos aparecen como líneas rectas, perpendiculares al Ecuador, mientras que los paralelos, asimismo rectos, guardan paralelismo con aquel.

Mercator sah sich selbst viel eher als wissenschaftlicher Kosmograph, als wie jemanden der seinen Lebensunterhalt mit der Herstellung und Verkauf von Karten verdienen musste. Seine Produktion war nicht gerade sehr umfangreich: wir kennen nur ein Globen-paar, f¼nf Wandkarten und eine unvollendete Kosmographie. Mercator lebte seit in Duisburg.

    Extractions: Stuck in someone else's frames? break free! WHO WAS GERARDUS MERCATOR? Gerardus Mercator ("Ger-ARD-us Murr-KATE-ur") really was Gerhard Kremer. The name by which he was known was the Latin form. [My Latin name would be Writasaurus Brilliantus.] He lived from 1512 to 1594, and was a Flemish geographer, mathematician, and cartographer. The Mercator map projection is described by the Concise Columbia Encyclopedia as "a cylindrical map projection of the features of the earth's surface that can be constructed only mathematically. The parallels of latitude, which on the globe are equal distances apart, are drawn with increasing separation as their distance from the equator increases in order to preserve shapes. However, areas are exaggerated with increasing distance from the equator. For instance, Greenland is shown with enormously exaggerated size, although its shape is preserved. The poles themselves cannot be shown on a Mercator projection. This type of projection gives an incorrect impression of the relative sizes of the world's countries." Using a Mercator projection of the world, trace the outer edge of the continents that bound the Atlantic Ocean. Cut out the forms of the continents. Now use the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle to put the continents together so the margins match and the the Atlantic Ocean is no longer between them.
