A68187	The contemplation of mankinde contayning a singuler discourse after the art of phisiognomie, on all the members and partes of man, as from the heade to the foote, in a more ample maner than hytherto hath beene published of any. In the place next after the chapter of the forehead, hath the phisiognomer added a proper treatise of the signification of sundrie lines seene in most mens foreheads: which in sundrie disputations with a skilfull Iew, he at the last obtayned. ... In the ende is a little treatise added of the signification of moles ... written by a worthie Grecian named Melampus. All which, englished by Thomas Hyll.	Hill, Thomas, b. ca. 1528.; Cocles, Bartolommeo della Rocca, 1467-1504. Chyromantie ac physionomie anastasis.; Malampus, 3rd cent. B.C. Peri elaiōn sōmatos.

when a woman is aparelled decked in mans apparell which doth then declare hir nature to draw néere to mans As the like did that woman of courage named Fracassa who commonly vsed to weare by the report of the Phisiognomer mans apparell and would vpon a brauerye manye times arme hir selfe at all poynts to iust and runne sundrie times so armed at the ring The forme of which woman by the earnest vew of the Phisiognomer was on this wise shée had a small heade and Pineapple like a necke comely formed large breasted séemelye armes aunswering to the body but in hir other partes as in the hippes buttockes thighes and legges nere agréeing to mans This manlye woman also walked vpright in bodie treading light on the grounde and bearing hir head playing like to the Hart. The other notes of this woman did the Phisiognomer for breuitie sake here omitte Yet he thus concluded that by the sundrie notes which he vewed shée was prone to come to a violent death These verses of the Italian Franciscus Asculanus may aptly be applyed in thys place touching the great deceyte and subtile practises of many Strumpets in their deckings and other wanton alurements to the mightie harme and vndoing of many men as the like well knowne by that coragious woman aboue described who drew for the personage and singuler beawtie many a worthy Capitane and Souldiour to hir company For which cause this man mooued with a loue and pittie towardes his countriemen wrote these by the way of a perswation in the mother tongue as followe De non credati a femina scioccha E non vacenda lor ficta bellezza Ma riguardati come dentro fioccha Miri la mente cum gli occhij cerueri Che alhora perderai la sua vaghezza De lei mirando li socij misteri That some light vnderstanding may be conceyued by these verses he vttereth in them that he woulde his countrie men to beware of the counterfeyt beawtie of most women with them in that the same not naturall but like framed by Arte with waters tinctures and suche like The Phisiognomer also reporteth that manye women like delighted to garnishe and decke vp themselues carrie the heade after the maner of the Hart with the eies rolling and turning here and there still turning the head one whils on the right side an other whiles on the left yea vpwarde and downewarde which argueth an especiall vnstablenesse and an vnsatiable luxury in that creature In so much that if they intensiuely possesse or haue these then suche be for the more part ercmeriti and of experience sayth the Phisiognomer doe I report this Where sundrie men are named to be Effemynate is vnderstanded and ment two wayes the one when as such be delighted to go in apparell and decked with ornaments like to women the other to appéere laciuious and weake both of will and courage The qualitie of which apparently declareth that the minde for the more part doth like ensue and aunswere to the dispotion of the bodie For such be noted of experience to be vnfaythfull and euill reporters and lyars in that they thus through their counterfayting aunswere in partes to the kinde fraudelent and wylie Further the youthfull delightes in men is séene vnto twentie yeares or néere vpon for that the naturall heate is all that time couered and hinde of the moysture The knowledge of which is well discerned through their members then being soft that suffer in a maner as the women The wearing of heauie garments customably doth perfitly argue a heauie braine but the garments light doe witnesse a light braine which rule and note much furthereth the person minding to Phisiognomate on any subiect The heares of the heade blackish in colour if they be meanely thinne as writeth Palemon and the like Albertus Aristotle and Consiliatore doe then denote honest condicions and both a good disposition iudgement and nature in that person The heares of the head yellowish and meanely thinne doe denote that the Sunne and Mercury to beare sway in the qualities and nature of that person after the minde of the Phisiognomer which I thereto agrée The learned Consiliatore writeth that he which hath the heares of the heade and in all other partes of the body standing vpright is argued by iudgement fearefull for that such persons in great feare appeare the like which for that applyed to the condition of the passion A lyke reason of the same vttereth Albertus which affirmeth that the windie moysture is cause of such an vprightnesse and staring of the heares Yet be the heares somtimes crisped curled and hard which procéede through the drinesse in the sharpe heate is causing and working the lyke The worthy man Almansor writeth that the crispednesse of the heares and of these standing vpright doe demonstrate a hote qualitie and hastye nature in that person Here in the first persons touching the colour of the heares and the effeminacie of parts doth the Phisiognomer aptly apply the Moone and Venus but in the seconde kinde doth he néerer attribute the Sunne or rather Mars The heares of the heade lying flatte and reaching out on the foreheade doe denote a strong person ▪ yet brutish of likelyhood in condicions for that the powling of heades in our time may greatly beguile the iudger and these applied to the Beare and other wilde beastes A like iudgement the Philosophers vttereth that the roughnesse of the heares of the heade do denote in many lacking education and grace the rudenesse of maners and wilde behauiour The heares of the heade after the minde of the Philosopher Aristotle very thinne doe indicate an effeminate minde for the lacke of bloud through which not onely a slownesse but a womanly courage and dulnesse in conceyuing is procured A muche quantitie of the heares of the head lying flat and appart on the middle of the foreheade folding and winding vpwarde towarde the braine or crowne of the heade doe argue after the agréement of Authors that such a person to be both subtile and wilye yet in honest and iuste causes not founde so aduised and wittie for which reason attributed of the Phisiognomer to the barbarous sort The heares of the heade flat lying of eyther side descending to the forheade doe declare such a person condicioned to the nature of the Horse The heares next the temples small and thin ▪ doe denote a colde person and weake of strength ▪ the reason of which séemeth to bée for that the temples supply that place where the great Arters and Uaines doe ende And in this the place shoulde naturally be hote through which causing the engendering of heares in that the same is procured of heate For which cause when the heares of the temples be small and thinne doe then denote the lacke of naturall heate and applyed to women being there bare of heares The heare by the temples thinne yet founde stiffe doe then denote not only a fearefull person but colde also by nature The

from the iuyces of the herbes And thus aboue his stocke and kindred aduanced was at that time infortunated and throwne into prison This person was most vile in déedes and bolde in woordes in that the Satur●●●●e dysposition bare sway in him And of this it came to passe that he was so great a dissembler and deceyuer of many for when he was come vnto his vttermost cyment he vanished as a smoke or vapour in that Mercurie of the Alchymisters was euill fixed and coniealed But the salt Armoniacke and salt Alkali were seperated from the iuyces of the herbes Such which be accustomed to weare gergious app●●●ll ▪ many 〈…〉 and Iew●ls ▪ like to women or that be much delighted to weare and vse swéete powders and pleasaunt Pomanders are reported to be spiced with the disposition and nature of Venus Whose heares of the ouerbroowes are descended downe warde from part of the nose and retched vpwarde from part of the temples is noted vnshamefast and dull of wyt For the vnshamefastnesse procéedeth through a furious hotnesse and ouermuch moouing the dulnesse through the same cause as Rasis Palemon Loxius Adamantius and sundrie others affirme and the Physiognomer with them The ouerbroowes thinne of heares and of a meane bignesse doe insinuate a temperament through the goodnesse of humours and through the seperating from verie much adustion And such by report of the Physiognomer are noted ingenious and searchers of déepe secrets That worthy man Rasis reporteth that the ouerbroowes long doe signifie arrogancie and vnshame fastnesse in that creature the cause did the Phisiognomer aboue vtter Conciliatore wryteth that ▪ when the heares of the ouerbroowes are stretched vnto the temples suche a person is knowne to be nastie or vncleanly and of some noted to be a mocker and dissembler which the Phisiognomer séemeth not to haue noted in his time Certayne affirme that the ouerbrowes long doe argue suche a person to be arrogant leacherous and vnshamefast which matters truely are increased for the more part in olde age As the Physiognomer ▪ Cocles noted in sundrie indiuiduates The learned Auicen wryteth primo de animalibus that when the heares of the ouerbrowes descend by incuruation or crooking from part of the nose doth signifie a sharpe that is a readie wyt and ingenious in wicked and detestable matters or businesses When the heares be stretched and crooke to the outside of the eye corners lachrimall such a person by report of the Physiognomer is noted to exercise iesting and to play the iester and to haue his felicitie therein except education otherwyse contrarie the same The heares of the ouerbroowes if they shall be stretched and lye so straite as a lyne in length and these long doe demonstrate an euill weake and feminine minde applyed by the lyke to women And these maner of eye browes sayth the Physiognomer doe I attribute to Venus and such he sawe for the more part to be Cynedes or else very lurutious The auncient Palemon wryteth that if the heares of the forehead or browes be stretched vnto the middle of the nose and that thicke appearing but vnto the partes which consist on eyther side little is an argument of magnanimitie and of most singuler vertue of minde in that creature The heares in the same place stretched strayte out doe denote such a person to be fearefull yet indued with deceytes if we may credite Palemon Auicen primo de animalibus reporteth that when the ouerbrowes are stretched according to a right lyne doth signifie a femynine minde he also wryteth that the heares of the ouerbrowes hanging downewarde to signifie an enuious person the ouerbrowes crooking doe ▪ denote a weake minde and féeble courage Thē ouerbrowes so much crooking that they appeare almost ioyned to the nose doe denote a subtill and an ingenious person Such ouerbrowes sayth the Physiognomer declare a studyous person and applyed for that reason to the Planet Mercurie When the ouerbroowes shall be thinne in the dyametre commensurated that these are large this person by report of the Phisiognomer is noted to be of a quick and readie vnderstanding Some wryte that if the ouerbrowes bended are ioyned togither at the cone of the nose doe argue a subtill and a studious person If these there knit by the agréement of all wryters doe wytnesse a sadde person yet not the wysest as the Phisiognomer noted the same Here the Physiognomer propowneth a solempne Probleme that may be demaunded why the heares of the ouerbrowes are more increased in olde age than in youth to which he thus séemeth to aunswere that seing the generatiue vapours of the heares of the ouerbrowes which are caried or sent forth by the ioyntes of the bones and in youth are compact and well ioyned through the tenacitie of moysture for that cause the vapours can not haue their free passage forth seing the penetration in them at that age is prohibited But the moysture of the selfe same ioyned in olde age is consumed and dried wherof the bones are caused more open and the vapours frée doe consequently ascende through which the heares of the ouerbroowes are then procured to growe long The heares of the ouerbroowes thicke and so long stretched out that they séeme in a maner to shadowe the sight doe denote in that person the excesse of heate The ouerbrowes thin of heares and the places much fleshie doe signifie a flowe and dull capacity and coldnesse ruling in the principall members as the learned Thaddaeus wryteth The heares of the ouerbrowes néere touching and in a maner ionned togither are noted to be the woorste condition of all others in that the broowes like formed doe argue a wicked person full of mischiefe vngracious workes and déedes and gyuen to wicked Artes. As the like the learned Ioan. Indagines affirmeth that he obserued in sundrie olde Witches brought to the stake to be burned that had the like ouerbroowes The learned Physition Thaddaeus reporteth that he obserued a ioly Capitayne a farre traueyler yea a Pyrate on the Sea and rauisher of Maydens in the Citie named Nymburge thrée yeres before he was cruelly slayne of the Lartarians who had the like ouerbrowes with the eyes glistering and fyrie spottes in them hauing also an yrefull and fierce countinaunce and wanne of colour in the face That the forme of this person maye neerer be vnderstanded and learned of the professors of the Arte conceane this figure here afore demonstrated liuely to the eye The heares of the ouerbroowes white as reporteth Ioan. Indagines doe argue an effeminate person lightly beléeuing and foolishe If the crooking of the heares declyneth vnto the temples and vnto the bossing out of the chéekes doth denote such a person to be negligent and foolishe The ouerbrowes if they retch out long and appeare thick of heares doe signifie a person meditating and bethinking mighty matters as the Phisiognomer reporteth The Physiognomer Cocles here placesh an other example of a certaine person that he noted in his time which by

of meates and the fumosities of them which dayly ascende on high vnto the partes of the Iawes much lyke to the smoke of an Ouen heated that passeth so long through the thincks of the same vntill those passages through the heate are wholy stopped that no more smoke can after passe through them Euen the like doe the fumosities of man issue forth into the maner of heares which are properly named the heares of the Bearde The colour of the Beard doth sometymes expresse the qualities quantityes of the humors yet hitherto hath not the same béene heard of that any man saw a flaxen white bearde for as much as the flegmaticke humor is not founde so mightie as to engender heares of the lyke colour through the depriuing and lack of naturall heate to ●leuate the sufficient matter vnto the engendring of the lyke coloured heares Here perhaps some will argue and affirme sayth the Phisiognomer that there is sundrie tymes séene women bearded yet these are not founde of a flegmaticke qualitie but rather the same doth happen in that the humors are so subtil that of nature such are procured to be hote For out of these creatures doe heares spring yea they sometymes appeare on their Iawes but properly these appeare about the mouth where the more heate doth abounde and such a woman séene the lyke is named of all men bearded here conceyue sayth Cocles that the like woman founde is iudged to be verie luxurious through hir hote and moyst qualitie of which the lyke creature séene is not onely noted strong of nature but to be of a stowte courage and manly in hir factes The persite woman is knowne to be sufficiently naked of heares especially about the mouth such a creature after Phisiognomie is reported and iudged to be of a good qualitie that is to say bashefull fearefull honest weake of courage gentle of behauiour and obedient Here sayth the Phisiognomer doth a solemne doubt arise and the same is why men are séene bearded not women for the more part which doubt séemeth to be put forth by the learned Gulielmus Nurice to which Cocles aunswereth in this maner that the same maye be gathered to procéede of the efficient the materiall and finall cause for as much as these properly serue vnto an ornament and comely bewtifying of the woman and in euerye kinde the Males are séene comelyer bewtisted with the same than the Females Which condition of the heares properly serueth vnto a defence of the iawes in man that the woman for the like defence and necessitie nothing néedeth at the least so much as the man through which the sense of féeling is knowne to be of greater force in man So that the man by this reason may better indure to go bareheaded and naked in other partes in the bitter colde weather than the woman and suffer greater stormes on the bodye than she maye without harme to insue A strenger reason maye be rendred and giuen of the effecient and materiall cause seing the Males in generall are knowne to be whoter than the Females For which cause the fume in men that is the matter precuring the heares is founde both more and mightier than in women which seing the same is knowne not able to be consumed for that cause God and nature togither ordayned two apt places in man for the passages of them as the one by the head other fitly by the chinne iawes which forme the beard of man Which maner fumes consisting in the woman for as much as they appeare not to be so many and mightie as well knowne they are to rest in the man for this cause are these properly and naturallye sent forth by the heade And a note of the like effect we sundrie ▪ times knowe and sée by women founde of a hote and moyste complexion that appeare bearded we sée contrariwise that in the colde and dry men these for the more part haue verie little or no beardes By which reason we gather sayth the Phisiognomer that the séemely beard waxeth not in the gelded person for as much as those partes haue then loste the benefite of their hotter qualitie through which these shoulde engender the hote humours and fumes that properly are the matter of the heares in them And by a like reason of the former wordes it appeareth that the thicknesse of the beard and great hearinesse in generall is an euidente note and iudgement of the substantiall heate and moysture and of naturall strength consisting in that creature Here may this argument also be propowned that seing children are knowne to be hote and moyst why they waxe not bearded as men to which doubt the Phisiognomer thus answereth that the smokie superfluousnesse which is the especiall matter of the heares that issueth forth of the heade and other partes of the bodye doth in them passe and serue to their increase and nourishment the like wordes in a maner appeare afore vttered by the singular Constantine Conceaue sayth the Phisiognomer that how much the plentie and force of heate consisteth so much the more store and quantitie of heares succeedeth in that creature For which cause a man must carefully beware of those persons which ouermuch abounde in the most great store and plentie of heares on the bodie when the complextion of such is especially founde adust The Phisiognomer Cocles wylleth a man to beware of those persons which haue a red beard in that the same coloured bearde indyeateth a heape an abundance of adustion and a mightie hotenesse to consist in these creatures through which such are knowne to be luxurious deceauers and lyars and in them by report of the Physiognomer doe the principall heape of vices rest vnlesse that grace godly education séeme otherwise to contrarie the abouesayde The bearde decerned comely and well fashioned doth innuate such a creature to be of a good nature of reasonable conditions congruent to all thinges and manered after his bringing vp Contrariwise iudge of them which haue the beard not séemely formed or euill fashioned in the length as appeare thin the gelded persons which after these are depryued of their genytours be then greatly chaunged from the nature of men into the condition of women as reporteth Aristotle in libro de Animalibus The singuler Phisiognomer Cocles obserued and noted in sundrie subiects which hauing long and séemely beardes came after certaine yeares vnto a frensinesse and some of them to be starcke foolishe The Phisiognomer also reporteth that he obserued and knewe sundrie creatures which possessing and hauing verie long beardes fell from their estate and were oppressed with myseries and these in his time yea he knewe and vnderstoode of certaine noble persons which were expelled their proper country and of these especially in the precincts of Italie The like iudgement sayth the Phisiognomer may in a maner be vttered of the beard decerned soone hoarie as afore was taught in the chapiter of the heares in generall for as muche as their

miserie The reason of this is in that the debilitie of the sinewes doth portende the weakenesse of brayne and by the consequent the imbecilitie of vnderstanding Such which treade on the toes in such sort going outwarde with them that the héeles séeme to make an angle behinde are noted of a womanly nature yea and Cyneds especially if the knées séeme to knock togyther and bende in the going Such which haue an artificiall pase and by measure goeth or that swiftly and their eyes mooue quick with a smyling countenaunce for the passion are mooued vnto euerye difference of the position Such a person which hath a chyld●she looke when he beholdeth anye pleasaunt thing these shal you suppose to be giuen or at the least prone to picking and stealing Such a person which hath the pase of that fowle named a Storke with the shoulder pointes and necke drawne togyther in the going and wyth the like positure of the eyes is iudged like in conditions to the Storke Such which with straight and strong legges doe orderly go are noted bolde and vnpacient yet is boldnesse with a valyauntnesse of courage signified Such which with a quicker pase and more disorderly are hasting in their pase are noted rashe and foolishe Such which treade and go after the maner of the Hart with the heade and eyes vsing the aforesayde walking in these are not onely iudged to be vnstable but to dye an euill death Such which for the more part go so nycely on the toes that scarcely any dur●e is séene on the outsides of the reast of the shooes are argued to be of a womanly nature and that these to be Cynedes and such which exercise and follow the veneriall conditions especially if the féete be amyable small and with flatte héeles Such which treade with strong and fast soales of the féete are noted strong and manly vnlesse the body otherwise be weake and that the knées bende in the going These hytherto of the nature and iesture of the pases and going shall here suffise The iudgement of the hearinesse in diuers partes of the body The Lv. chapter FOr as much as a great doubt in iudging procéedeth through the diuersitie of the hearinesse in persons the Physiognomer thought good to vtter here the words of the singuler Phylosopher the worthye Conciliatore and other learned in the same First Aristotle in Methaphoricis wryteth that such persons which haue hearie legges are venerions applyed to the Goate Such which be verie hearie about the breast and belly are alwayes wauering of minde and vnconstaunt applyed to the byrdes which haue the breast and belly like hearie after the kinde Such which be verie naked of heare on the breast or at the least haue verie little or fewe heares to be séene are iniurecundious persons applyed vnto women Such which be not much hearie in the partes of the bodye but in a meane are noted honest persons and of a good nature Such which haue the brawne of the shoulder poyntes hearie are noted as afore that they neuer continue stable of mind applyed to the birds Such which haue the backe or chyne of the backe very hearie are noted inuericundious and leacherous persons applyed vnto beastes Such which haue the necke behinde hearie are argued to be liberall persons and stowte applied to the Lyon. Such which haue a sharpe chinne are persons of an honest minde and nature applyed after the forme to the Dogge Such which haue the heares of the eye broowes nere ioyning togither are sadde persons and couetous applied vnto the similitude of the passion Such which haue the heares of the eye broowes shed ouer the nose and spred vpwarde vnto the temples are denoted foolish persons applyed for the forme to the Hogge Such which haue the heares vpright on the heade are noted fearefull applyed vnto the similitude of the passion in that persons fearing their heares doe then start vp Such which haue the heares of the heade very crisped are also fearefull and applyed to the passion Such which haue stiffe and very crisped heares on the heade are lyke denoted fearefull Such which haue the heares of the heade crisped or curled at the endes are persons honest condicioned Such persons which haue a high foreheade are noted liberall and stowte applyed for the forme to the Lyon. The heade long wyth the heares growing downe deepe on the forehead and nere to the nose doe argue such a person to be liberall applyed vnto the decent comelinesse and apparancie of the same The worthie Conciliatore vttereth that heares growing within the eares doe denote such a person to be quieke of hearing and reasonablye conditioned If on the necke behinde and the heade and back shall be much heare séene such by the agreement of authours are argued to be strong bolde and stowte of courage It is also reported that such hauing the necke behinde hearie are noted liberall applyed for the forme vnto the Lyon. Much quantitie of heares consisting on the shoulder poyntes and necke behinde do witnesse p●●●●hnesse and an obstinate minde and with this to be vnconstant applyed for the condition to birdes Such hauing the breastes very hearie or but thinke of heares are inuericundius or impudent persons applyed for the kinde vnto beastes Such hauing the breasts altogither without heares are applyed to women But such are applyed to men or named manly which haue their backe partes hearie Such a person which shall be onely hearie on the breast is noted a constant person and well sticking vnto his worde and promise and the Phisitions report that the same note to declare a hotenesse of the heart The much quantitie of heares on the bellye from the nauill downewarde doth indicate such a person to be luxurious vnstable and a great féeber by nature applyed for the forme to birdes Such which haue the legges hearie are vencrious applyed for the similitude to the Goate Such bodyes couered in the partes with a muche quantitie and long heares are denoted fierre cruell and vnapt to be taught these notes are here conceyued of the accidentes of the same matter taken wholy of the outward appearance Nowe resteth onely to Phisiognomate by the actes and doings of the same subiect Philemon reporteth that the man which hath a much quantitie of heares in most partes of the bodie is declining vnto a brutish nature He which hath a decent quantitie of heares on the backe of the hande especially about the nether part and aboute the th●ni●e and on the fingers is iudged to be a person of a good qualitie and honest nature The ouermuch hearinesse on the handes doth denote such a person to be wauering and vnconstant applyed for the similitude to birdes Such a hearinesse if it he scattering and disorderly doth argue an v●ordinate qualitie and an euill nature Uery little or fewe heares on the handes to be séene doe denote a weake bodie and a feminin or womanly nature The handes quite without heares to be séene is a note of euill conditions
