English: The scan shows two sketches side by side:

Skizze 4: Die Hölle in der nördlichen Halbkugel der Erde

(Sketch 4: Hell in the Earth's northern hemisphere) and

Skizze 4: Der Berg auf der südlichen Halbkugel der Erde

(Sketch 5: The mountain on the Earth's southern hemisphere).

Sketch 4 depicts the cross-section of a globe with, clockwise from the top:

• Jerusalem at the top
• Ganges
  (Ganges River)
  Morgenland
  (Orient) at 3 o'clock,
• Der Vorberg
  (foothills) with
  Der Berg der Läuterung
  (Purgatory Mountain) "above",
• a wavy line traces a path from the foothills to the centre of the globe
• Weltmeer
  (Seven Seas) at 8 o'clock,
• Ebro
  (Ebro River) (
  Abendland
  ) (en:Occident) at 9 o'clock,
• Mittelmeer
  (Mediterranean Sea) at 10 o'clock, with Florenz at the outer rim of the cone labeled
  Die Hölle
  (Hell).

An arrow curving anticlockwise outside the first quadrant is labeled

Aufgehende Sonne

(rising sun), while another arrow is curving anticlockwise outside the third quadrant and is labeled

Untergehende Sonne

(setting sun).

Sketch 5 depicts the same cross-section flipped along a horizontal axis. Clockwise from the top:

• the arrows from sketch 4 are now curving clockwise, with the rising sun on the left and the setting sun on the right
• Der Berg der Läuterung
  (Purgatory Mountain) now appears truly above
  Der Vorberg
  (the foothills) and a wavy line traces a short path upwards from the top of the mountain
• Weltmeer
  (Seven Seas) is now at 2 o'clock,
• Ganges
  (the Ganges River)
  Morgenland
  (Orient) is still at 3 o'clock,
• Jerusalem is now at the bottom
• Mittelmeer
  (the Mediterranean Sea) with Florenze in its middle is now at 8 o'clock, and the cone labeled
  Die Hölle
  (Hell) is in the lowe half of the globe,
• Ebro
  (Ebro River) (
  Abendland
  ) (en:Occident) is still at 9 o'clock,
• Weltmeer
  (Seven Seas) is now at 10 o'clock.
