The Hunt–Lenox Globe or Lenox Globe, dating from about 1510,[1] is the second- or third-oldest known terrestrial globe, after the Erdapfel of Martin Behaim (1492) and the Ostrich Egg Globe (claimed[2] 1504). The Hunt-Lenox Globe is housed by the Rare Book Division of the New York Public Library.[1] It is notable as one of only two known instances of a historical map actually using the phrase HC SVNT DRACONES (in Latin hic sunt dracones means "here are dragons").
