    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The anonymous translator (who presents himself as a pupil of Agostino Nifo) dedicates his version of Aristotle&#039;s Physiognomy - which is translated into Italian from Latin, as stated in the preface - to an unnamed ruler. The translator refers to the princely status of the dedicatee in the preface: since he is writing from Piombino (Tuscany), the dedicatee might well be a member of the Medici family. A general eulogy of philosophy as a fundamental tool for rulers, with references to both Plato and Aristotle, is followed by some remarks on the utility of Aristotle&#039;s Physiognomy in order to unveil the nature of people a ruler has to deal with. The work is completed by a translation of Rasi&#039;s Physiognomy which is presented as a shorter and clearer account of the discipline. ]]></dcterms:description>
