The entire diagram is encased within a circle split horizontally to indicate the two hemispheres. The upper half, labeled “Northern Hemisphere,” contains the city of Jerusalem above ground. Directly beneath it are the concentric circles of “Inferno,” descending in funnel-like layers to “Satan,” located at the Earth’s center. The upper half is labeled “LAND.” The lower half of the sphere is labeled “Southern Hemisphere” and “WATER.” Below, it contains an inverted cone labeled “Purgatory,” which ascends from the Earth’s core to the “Earthly Paradise” at its summit. A vertical line connects Satan at the core with Purgatory.
