"Hemisphaerium Rii Borealis Coeli et Terrae" is a notable celestial and terrestrial hemispheric map created by the Dutch engraver and cartographer Hendrick Hondius I (1573–1650). This work, which translates to "Northern Hemisphere of the Sky and Earth," is a fine example of early 17th-century cartographic art and represents the fusion of scientific knowledge and artistic representation of its time. The map is part of a pair, with its counterpart depicting the southern celestial and terrestrial hemisphere.

Hondius's work is distinguished by its detailed depiction of the constellations in the northern celestial hemisphere, as well as the corresponding terrestrial geography below. The celestial map is based on the observations of prominent astronomers of the time, such as Tycho Brahe, and is adorned with classical mythological figures representing the constellations. The terrestrial map, on the other hand, reflects the geographical knowledge of the early 1600s, showing continents, countries, and significant features known to Europeans at the time.

The map is not only a scientific tool but also a work of art, showcasing the engraving skills and aesthetic sensibilities of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography. Hondius's work contributed to the dissemination of astronomical and geographical knowledge during a period when exploration and scientific discovery were rapidly expanding European understanding of the world and the cosmos.

"Hemisphaerium Rii Borealis Coeli et Terrae" is an important historical document, reflecting the state of scientific and geographical knowledge in the early modern period. It remains of interest to historians of science and cartography, as well as collectors and enthusiasts of antique maps. The map's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable artifact from the era of great European exploration and intellectual curiosity.
