Europa-kort</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Gerard Mercator</b> (født <a href="/wiki/5._marts" title="5. marts">5. marts</a> <a href="/wiki/1512" title="1512">1512</a>, død <a href="/wiki/2._december" title="2. december">2. december</a> <a href="/wiki/1594" title="1594">1594</a>) var en flamsk kartograf og geograf. Han er mest kendt for sit verdenskort (1569), konstrueret efter det, der kendes som <a href="/wiki/Mercatorprojektion" title="Mercatorprojektion">Mercators Projektion</a>. Mens han underviste i kosmografi, gik det op for ham, at der var brug for en moderne kortsamling som efterfølger for de Ptolemæiske Atlasser. Han begyndte at forberede en udgivelse af en komplet beskrivelse af universet, både himmel og jord. Det var et så omfattende projekt, at det ikke var ham muligt at færdiggøre det i hans egen levetid. Hans søn, Rumold, færdiggjorde og udgav værket <i>Atlas</i> i 1595. Det var første gang, ordet <a href="/wiki/Atlas_(kartografi)" title="Atlas (kartografi)">atlas</a> blev brugt om en bundtet samling af kort. Begrebet atlas samt projektionsmetoden indenfor kartografi er forblevet i hverdagsbrug til den dag i dag.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Referencer">Referencer</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerardus_Mercator&veaction=edit&section=1" title="Redigér afsnit: Referencer" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>redigér</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerardus_Mercator&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section's source code: Referencer"><span>rediger kildetekst</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r11780210">.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%;margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-sprog_enQ111594648-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-sprog_enQ111594648_1-0">^</a></span> <span class="reference-text"><span style="color:gray;
