De humanarum propensionum ex temperamento praenotionibus, De naturalibus ex unguium inspectione praesagiis et De ratione cognoscendi mores, et qualitates scribentis ex ipsius epistola missiva... tractatus tres
A 1664 Latin treatise by Camillo Baldi, printed in Bologna and held by a Paris university health library, on reading temperament, nails and handwriting for predicting character. Its pictures are small printed woodcut decorations: a foliate initial letter, a cartouche with a heart-shaped shield bearing the motto Bonum Atque, a crown, and a library stamp that a designer should disregard, offering compact ornamental devices for historical emblem or book-plate styling.
