Gerard Mercator - Religion and Science in Early Modern Europe

本文试图以制图家杰拉德·墨卡托的全部文学作品为基础，结合最新的阐释方法，对其作品中宗教与科学的关系进行分析。作为相应的文本基础，它计划提供墨卡托关于罗马书信的未出版评论的历史关键版本，这是该作品的双语拉丁-德语版本。因此，该项目结合了专题分析和编辑。它的目的是为理解决定现代科学的条件作出贡献。

For the first time, it is attempted to analyse the relation between religion and science in the works of Gerard Mercator based on the cartographer's whole literary oeuvre as well as regarding the latest interpretative approaches. As the corresponding textual basis, it is planned to provide a historical-critical edition of Mercator's unpublished commentary on the epistle to the Romans in a bilingual, Latin-German version of that work. Thus, the project combines monographic analysis and edition. It aims at a contribution to the understanding of the conditions which determined modern science.
