Gerhard Mercator (5. März 1512 in Rupelmonde, Belgien - 1594 in Duisburg, Deutschland) war ein Geograph und Kartograf, der schon zu Lebzeiten als der Ptolemäus seiner Zeit angesehen wurde und bis in die arabisch-islamische Welt berühmt war. Heute vorwiegend als Kartograf und Globenhersteller bekannt, war Mercator im 16. Jahrhundert auch als Kosmograf, Theologe und Philosoph von großer Bedeutung und setzte Maßstäbe als Schriftkünstler.
