Pierre Mortier Biography

Pierre, or Pieter, Mortier (1661-1711) was a Dutch engraver, son of a French refugee. He was born in Leiden. In 1690 he was granted a privilege to publish French maps in Dutch lands. In 1693 he released the first and accompanying volume of the Neptune Francois. The third followed in 1700. His son, Cornelis (1699-1783), would partner with Johannes Covens I, creating one of the most important map publishing companies of the eighteenth century.

[Holy Land, Cyprus, Syria & Middle East] Asiae IIII Tab

Gerard Mercator is a name synonymous with modern cartography. His pioneering approach to navigation charts and the projection that carries his name have made him a titan in the history of map-making. However, an intriguing aspect of his work, often overshadowed by his innovative contributions, was his deep fascination with the ancient geographer, Claudius Ptolemy. This admiration led him to publish his own version of Ptolemy's Geographia, which included a remarkable Ptolemaic map of the Holy Land, Cyprus, Syria, and surrounding regions.
