By the 16th century allegory was firmly linked to what is known as the Elizabethan world picture, taken from Ptolemy and Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. This theory postulates the existence of three worlds:
- The sublunary world we live in, subject to change.
- The celestial world, the world of the planets and stars, unchanging.
- The supercelestial world, where angels and the Godhead are.
