A77798	Anthropometamorphosis: = man transform'd: or, the artificiall changling historically presented, in the mad and cruell gallantry, foolish bravery, ridiculous beauty, filthy finenesse, and loathsome loveliness of most nations, fashioning and altering their bodies from the mould intended by nature; with figures of those transfigurations. To which artificiall and affected deformations are added, all the native and nationall monstrosities that have appeared to disfigure the humane fabrick. With a vindication of the regular beauty and honesty of nature. And an appendix of the pedigree of the English gallant. Scripsit J.B. cognomento chirosophus. M.D.	J. B. (John Bulwer), fl. 1648-1654.; Fathorn, William, 1616-1691, engraver.; Cross, Thomas, fl. 1632-1682.	1653 (1653)	Wing B5461; Thomason E700_1; ESTC R202040	309,892	550
