Provides information on about twenty thousand cartographers, engravers, and publishers active from the earliest times to 1900. The present work is a revised, expanded and completed edition of the incomplete series of listings that appeared intermittently in the now discontinued "Map Collector's Circle."
Gerhard Mercator (1512–1594) was the most important cartographer and globemaker of the 16th century. He is particularly remembered for his publication Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi et Fabricati Figura (1595), and for his specific cylindrical map projection (1569), which is still used widely today. This book brings together the latest research on Mercator with a view to his sources and his relationships with other scientific disciplines and cartographers of his time, as well as his role in the wider worlds of Renaissance cartography and Humanism.
This revised edition contains corrections, extra information to date the charts more correctly, descriptions of the title page and a portrait of Ortelius.
This volume complements the best-seller and award-winning General Maps of Persia. Cyrus Alai continued his research and collected further material to produce this volume, covering every map of that region, other than general maps.
