Historical notes:
Mercury, or Hermes, was the god of commerce and industry. Joseph Hall, an English bishop and satirist, wrote Mundus alter as a satire on the follies of contemporary London and Europe, criticizing the Catholic church and its customs. His narrator, Mercurius Britannicus, discovers the southern continent divided into the human vices, but the known mapped world is clearly of importance to the satire.
