Seeing the Face, Seeing the Soul: Polemon's Physiognomy From Classical Antiquity to Medieval Islam
Simon Swain (ed.)
Oxford University Press (2007)
Abstract
Polemon of Laodicea's Physiognomy explains how to detect someone's character from their appearance. The original 2nd-century text has been lost, but this collection of essays presents translations of the surviving Greek, Latin, and Arabic versions together with a series of masterly studies on the Physiognomy's origins, function, and legacy.
