The determination of character, fate and future from lines and other marks on the palm and fingers was one of the mantic arts which developed in the Near East, apparently, during the Hellenistic period. In our modern age it has come to mean the science of reading character by the conformation of the hand.

Acceptable condition. Boards ever so slightly curved. corners lightly rubbed, circular stain and abrasions on the back cover, light brown marks inside the front cover and first free endpaper. The binding is solid with no writing or notes on the inside. Item #33
