Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617); copied by Salvatore Salvadori

Italian manuscript copy, made at Perugia in 1631, of Magini's metoposcopy (forehead-line divination) with Praedictiones ex nevis et punctis, illustrated with pen-drawn heads and a 'Wheel of Pythagoras'. Unique manuscript: a handwritten codex held in the Wellcome Library's Western Manuscripts collection, so no second copy of this particular text-witness exists. Digitized by the Wellcome Collection and released under its Public Domain Mark.
