2 dicembre 1594: muore Mercatore #accaddeoggi

Il padre della cartografia moderna

Gerardo Mercatore nacque il 5 marzo 1512 a Kruibeke, nelle Fiandre orientali.

Dopo una formazione di tipo classico, frequentò l'Università di Lovanio dove ebbe modo di studiare matematica, astronomia e cartografia. Appassionato in particolare di quest'ultima materia, iniziò a disegnare mappe già a partire dal 1537.

Nel 1569 il fiammingo mise a punto la proiezione di Mercatore, un'innovativa rappresentazione cartografica del globo terrestre che riscosse un particolare successo nel campo della navigazione marittima e che, nonostante le evidenti distorsioni, è ancora utilizzata ai giorni nostri.

Gerardo Mercatore morì a Duisburg il 2 dicembre 1594.
