I. DIAGRAM OF THE UNIVERSE IN THE DIVINE COMEDY

A = Jerusalem, crowned by Calvary; B = Italy, and, presumably, the Dark Wood; C = Centre of Earth; D = Spain, the Western limit of the inhabited world; E = The Ganges, the Eastern limit; F = Hell; G = Purgatory, crowned by Eden, H.]

II. CLOCK MARKING SIMULTANEOUS HOURS AT DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE EARTH

[After Dr. E. Moore’s _Time-References in the Divina Commedia_.]

To indicate changes of hour, the reader may imagine the rim of the clock to revolve _counterclockwise_, while the five hands remain stationary, or the hands to revolve _clockwise_, while the rim remains stationary.

Thus, for example, _Purg._ xxvii. 1-5, the sun was rising at Jerusalem, ‘there where his Maker shed His blood,’ when it was midnight in Spain (on the Ebro) and noon in India, ‘the waves in Ganges burnt by noon’; and therefore sunset in Purgatory: ‘wherefore the day was departing, when the Angel of God joyfully appeared to us.’]
