The circles of Hell rightfully get all the attention. But what about the circles of Heaven?
.
This early 17th-century Italian chart presents what appears to be a cross-section of the universe, with the underworld—Hell and Purgatory—at its center and succeeding circles representing new zones: the known world, Air, Fire, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and so on. (Separating the underworld from the rest of the chart is a circle of enshrouded bodies.)

The book is divided into chapters illustrated by copperplate prints (some examples above), which are described in the accompanying text. In most editions, the text is given in both Latin and the child's native language.
