De Humana physiognomonia Ioannis Baptistae Portae Neapolitani, libri IV

Terza edizione, preceduta da quelle del 1586 e 1593. Norman Catalogue 1723 (edizione del 1586); non presente in Wellcome. “Porta was one of the pioneers of the scientific outlook, not himself a discoverer but a popularizer … We are prone to think today of physiognomy as antiscientific, but it was in fact a way of emphasizing the dependence of behavior on body, a sort of physiological psychology.” (Diamond 23.5).
