They were life-long friends, and there was probably some co-operation between them. Therefore it is not surprising that in the first edition (1570) of Abraham Ortelius' atlas, Theatrum orbis terrarum, we find a copy of a part of Mercator's world map which was published a year earlier. The map shows the Northern countries. Iceland (Islant, Thule) on the map is basically unchanged from Mercator's map of Europe from 1554. The shape of the country originates from the Zeno map but Mercator doesn't let all its falsifications fool him. Greenland is separated from Europe by a wide sea and the seven islands off the east coast are gone." }, { "@language" : "is", "@value" : "Gerhard Mercator og Abraham Ortelius voru fremstu kortagerðarmenn síns tíma. Þeir voru vinir langa ævi og er jafnvel talið að sá fyrrnefndi hafi stutt hinn síðarnefnda við kortaöflun og kortagerð. Það er því ekki skrítið að fyrstu útgáfu kortasafns Orteliusar, Theatrum orbis terrarum, frá 1570 skyldi fylgja allnákvæm eftirmynd af Norðurlandahluta heimskorts Mercators frá árinu áður. Ísland (Islant, Thule) á kortinu er í aðalatriðum óbreytt frá Evrópukorti Mercators frá árinu 1554. Lögun landsins á uppruna sinn að rekja til Zeno-kortsins þó að Mercator látist ekki ginnast af öllum fölsunum þess. Grænland er skilið frá Evrópu með breiðu hafi og eyjarnar sjö við norðausturland eru horfnar enda voru á þessum tíma komnar út í Hollandi siglingaleiðsagnir um allar strendur landsins þar sem eyjanna
