The Hunt–Lenox Globe or Lenox Globe, dating from about 1510, is the third-oldest known terrestrial globe, after the Erdapfel of Martin Behaim dating from 1492 and its identical sibling and apparent prototype, the Ostrich Egg Globe, dating from 1504. The Hunt-Lenox Globe is housed by the Rare Book Division of the New York Public Library.It is notable as one of only two known instances of a historical map actually using the phrase HC SVNT DRACONES.
