indicate a couetous person and malicious If the fingers stretched out these bende towarde the backe of the hande doe argue such a person to be vniust subtyll and wittie especially if the fingers be slender If any whiles he walketh doth of a custome shutte the thombe within the fingers is noted to be a couetous person as the like the Phisiognomer obserued in a certaine L●●barde The fingers long doe like argue the length of the eares of the lyuer and the bignesse of the fingers doe like denote the largenesse of the eares of the lyuer But the s●●●lnesse of them as Albertus reporteth doth lyke signifie the eares of the lyuer to be little the selfe same vtter Auicen and Galen in libro 〈◊〉 If any shall haue redde handes whether the same be manne or woman is of nature noted ▪ Sanguine and luxurious as wryteth the learned Formica and the same a truth knowne Ptholomie the Philosopher vttereth that the creature which hath the vpper ioyntes of the fingers grosse or bigge and turning backwarde doth denote that if he shall then be ●iteh within a periode a certaine tyme after to become poore or else by some other infortune shall be shorte lyued The handes crooked in the length is a note as some Authors wryte of sodaine death and this in sundrie hath bene noted For as much as some are founde to haue sixe fingers on one hande as the two last towarde the eare finger in like maner lyned yet in the greatnesse dyuers the ioyntes and nayles séemely formed and proportioned through the goodnesse of matter And the first person which I sawe and considered before the presence of M. Iulius Vitalis was a Iew named Helias After him many others whose names for breuitie the Physiognomer omitteth and this person he behelde in the Citie of Bononie Thus briefly the Physiognomer Cocles endeth this Chapiter of the hande and fingers crauing pardon of the reader if the same be eyther vnperfitely or super●●uously handled The forme and iudgement of the nayles of the fingers The. xxxix Chapter THe prince of the later wryters both of Phisiognomie and Paulmestrie affirmeth that the nayles and the same a truth are produced or doe procéede of the superfluities of the heart in that the heart is founde to be the nobler member of action So that by them is somewhat to bée vttered He also reporteth in differentia 54. that the nayle is a bodye extensed thinne produced caused of the superfluities and hardned on the fingers endes for a speciall helpe to them being there situated and groweth on the fingers endes and toes as the heares vttermost of the skinne doe occupie on the bodie And Auicen vttereth that the nayles both on the fingers and toes were ordayned in the endes of these members the better to strengthen for to take and holde things firmely and to couer the flesh at the endes which ioyntly being well matched giue a more strength This well appeareth in that if any of the small bones be lacking at the endes of any of the toes or fingers then like doe the nayles lacke at the endes of those members as the same may euidently appeare in any large scarre on the fleshe where after groweth no heares to be séene The maner also of the original cause of those nayles is proportionall to the production of the heares through the grosser superfluities not so much adust The nayles playne white soft and thinne reddish and sufficient cleare doe indicate a singuler witte in that person and this is one of the notes which very seldome fayleth forasmuch as such nayles doe procéede of the best qualitie as Albertus reporteth so that the spirites which produce the nayles delated from the heart are cleare and thinne through whose superfluitie are the nayles engendred The nayles rough and harde doe denote such a person to be prone to the venereall act as the learned Morbeth reporteth The nayles ouer short doe argue wickednesse in that creature And lyke the blacke small and bending nayles doe argue imprudencie compared to the gréedie catching fowles These also after the minde of the Phisitions with a leannesse of the fingers doe witnesse a consumption of the bodie When the nayles fall of without cause doe threaten the leaprie to come or euen at hande as the learned Conciliatore vttereth The childe borne without nayles or hauing them but weake doth witnesse the mother to haue vsed the dayly continuance or ouermuch eating of salt as witnesseth the Philosopher Aristotle in septimo de natura animalium cap. 4. The nayles in the middle déepe grosse or bigge and thicke doe denote a rude person and knowing little especially if the flesh about the fingers endes be high and grosse Ptnolomie the Philosopher reporteth that the nayles long doe signifie pouertie to that person and to liue in bare estate or beggerie all his lyfs tyme The same is confirmed of Pontius Gallicus Certaine authours affirme that whose nayles of the fingers of the left hande growe faster than the right doe witnesse pouertie the lyke if the nayles be without colour I much maruayle sayth the Phisiognomer that all the legitimate authours doe affirme that the white prickes in the nayles to signifie happinesse and friendes which as it shoulde séeme hath many tymes béene obserued and noted and iudged of the Phisiognomer by the order of the fingers as thus the white prickes séene in the Sunnes finger doe signifie the encrease of honor worship offices and friendship with noble persons c. The reason of this is forasmuch as these denote a good humour and benigne presupposing there a good qualitie and vnderstanding of which a good discretion and curtesie ensueth so that such persons through the same do attaine friends and commended of many The lyke pricks founde in the little finger doe denote friendship with the Mercurians and that Mercurie to be well proportioned and stronge in that place aboute similia But the blacke prickes séene in the nayles and chiefly in the middle finger doe argue harmes persecutions imprisonment and all kindes of detrimentes that may happen to any as the same the Phisiognomer vnderstood of a certaine friend which noted the lyke in many persons And these he reported to like succéede according to the diuersitie of the fingers forasmuch as the infortune and losse of richesse happened after the positure of them on the fingers But some Autours report that these doe indicate hatred The reason of this is through the excesse of the drie Melancholie which then aboundeth and lacke of the naturall heate which fayleth So that the blacke prickes doe alwaye demonstrate that the colde Melancholie and an earthly drynesse to insue Yet it séemeth to mée sayth the Phisiognomer that experience maye contradict the same séeing I haue alwayes séene sayth he that the blacke and white prickes on the nayles to come and passe awaye within a fewe dayes and that these to be caused of determinate effectes which otherwyse can not procéede or be caused
