While there is a topic dealing with Mercator, I thought I would present a bit of information I have not known what to do with. I know that there is a recent published list of known copies of works by Mercator and I am adding one more item. (Also to lists of printed Ptolemys) In the Military Museum Library in Istanbul by luck I ran into a number of old atlases, and one of them is an atlas published by Mercator in Cologne in 1584, which must be the Ptolemy that Mercator published. Also were nine of the eleven volumes of the 1662 Blaeu; Andreas Cellarius, Atlas Coelestis (1665, 1708); N. Sanson, Atlas, 1691 [no copy found in the BN when I looked]; N. Sanson, 1674; two of the four parts of the manuscript atlas of 1635 by Guérard [ All of the atlas has been published in facsimile.]; plus a couple of 19th century works. Since my visit to the library in the 1980s I have heard that these have been moved to some place in Ankara.] Tom
