Aristotle reportedly became fascinated with palmistry when he came across a missing treatise on the subject and shared the information with his famous, pupil, Alexander the Great. The practice continued in medieval Europe and flourished in the Renaissance with the production of printed texts with illustrations.\u00a0 The National Library of Medicine holds a number of books on palmistry published in Europe during the Renaissance, and we\u2019ll take a look at a few here.<\/p>\n<p>The first volume to investigate is <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nlm.nih.gov\/permalink\/01NLM_INST\/1o1phhn\/alma992268653406676\"><em>Barptolomaei Coclitis Bononiensis, naturalis philosophiae ac medicinae doctoris Physiognomiae & chiromantiae compendium<\/em><\/a> by Bartolommeo della Rocca also known as Cocles. It was published in 1533 in Argentorati, the ancient name for Strasbourg in France, a city that traditionally blends with the German culture.\u00a0 The year 1533 was a turbulent year in Europe as Henry VIII defied the Catholic Church by marrying his second wife, the protestant, Ann Boleyn. The fact that Cocles published his book at this time of political turmoil, and in Catholic France, seems to indicate the art of palmistry could be practiced quite openly, and attracted an educated readership.<\/p>\n<p>This 1533 edition is made up of three sections: a prologue, and a compendium, both by an anonymous author, and the palmistry or chiromancy section by Cocles.\u00a0 This latter section is composed of a descriptive portion about palmistry and a woodcut diagram of the left palm depicting the lines and finger designations labelled in German followed by 158 individual smaller woodcuts indicating particular markings of both the left and right palms with interpretations underneath in Latin.\u00a0 It is interesting to question why the first woodcut would be labelled in German whilst all the subsequent woodcuts have Latin explanations. Perhaps it was to entice the interest of the German population in Strasbourg at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The National Library of Medicine also holds two other editions of this book. The <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nlm.nih.gov\/permalink\/01NLM_INST\/1o1phhn\/alma992268663406676\">1534 edition<\/a>, a reprint of the 1533 edition with small changes, and another published <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nlm.nih.gov\/permalink\/01NLM_INST\/1o1phhn\/alma992864483406676\">in 1536<\/a>, \u00a0which is bound with Aristotles\u2019s \u2018<em>Problemata\u201d<\/em>, a famous work in which Aristotle used the question\/response method to answer hundreds of questions on many subjects including medical topics.<\/p>\n<p>The Library also owns an edition published in 1578 in Lyons.\u00a0 It is a miniature book, about 5 inches high, entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nlm.nih.gov\/permalink\/01NLM_INST\/1o1phhn\/alma992269553406676\"><em>Excellente chiromancie monstrant par les lignes de la main les meurs & complexions des gens selon les figures qui y sont depeintes<\/em><\/a> by Andre Corve. In this volume, the first woodcut diagram of the lines of the whole palm are labelled in Latin, not German, and the interpretations under all the subsequent woodcuts are in French, not Latin. These changes seem to reflect a French vernacular readership.\u00a0 It is also notable that the labelled palm in the 1578 volume shows the whole of the right palm and not the left as seen in the 1533, 1534 reprint, and 1536 editions indicating a whole new diagram was made for the 1578 publication.\u00a0 A careful review of other woodcuts show variations in rendering and seem to have been copied and enhanced from earlier editions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2016\\\/10\\\/31\\\/palmistry-the-future-in-the-palm-of-your-hand\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px;
