  Reginae Eloquentiae Dotes Exerciations Oratoriae : De Phyisognomia : De Sphaera articiali

  Manuscripts

  A Jesuit educational manuscript combining extensive treatises on rhetoric and geography with a shorter consideration of physiognomy. Though anonymous, a colophon describes the work as having been translated (or transcribed) from his "Eruditissimo Preoeceptore Gardemeau." It is closely written in a single, minute, but neat hand, and contains engraved frontispieces to the three parts depicting Christ, Saint Joseph and Saint Agnes; each frontispiece has the imprint of Parisian engraver and printseller Jacques Honervogt, as well as one unsigned plate depicting the Annunciation. The short treatise on physiognomy outlines the principles of the science of understanding the soul through the physical features of the face. "De Sphaera articiali" includes descriptions and maps of the continents, Asia, Africa and the Americas, while a stub suggests the map of Europe has been removed. The volume has very minor worming to the lower portions of a few leaves and some damage to the spine; covers are contemporary yellow tawed sheep with partially intact ties, with a later paper spine label.
