First Edition of Cornarius's Latin translation of Adamantius; later editions of Cocles's and George of Trebizond's treatises. Adamantius a fifth-century Graeco-Jewish physician was a native of Alexandria; he converted to Christianity after the patriarch of the city expelled the Jews in 415. His Physiognomicon is essentially an abridgement of Antonius Polemon's treatise on physiognomy from the second century CE a work that survives today only in a 14th-century Arabic translation. This Latin translation by the German humanist Janus Cornarius ca. 1500 - 1558 includes Adamantius's original Greek text as well as Cornarius's De utriusque alimenti receptaculis dissertatio contra quam sentit Plutarchus. Bartolommeo della Rocca also known as Cocles was a Bolognese scholar of chiromancy physiognomy and astrology; he was assassinated in 1504 by Bolognese nobleman Ermes Bentivoglio for predicting that Ermes would die in battle. Cocles's treatise on physiognomy and chiromancy palm-reading his main work was originally published in 1504 under the title Chyromantiae ac physiognomiae anastasis; the work first appeared under the present title in 1533. It consists of a preface by Cocles an anonymous handbook of physiognomy and Andrea Corvo's 15th-century treatise on chiromancy the latter two illustrated with numerous woodcuts. The final work in this volume is a later edition of George of Trebizond's commentary on pseudo-Ptolemy's Centiloquium a medieval collection of one hundred aphorisms about astrology and astrological rules. This edition includes a brief work on astrology by the Italian humanist Giovanni Pontano 1426-1503. . unknown books
