The idea of the body as a mirror of the soul has fascinated mankind throughout history. Being able to see through an individual, and drawing conclusions on their character solely based on a selection of external features, is the subject of physiognomy, and has a long tradition running well into recent times. However, the pre-modern, especially medieval background of this discipline has remained underexplored. The selected case studies in this volume each contribute to a better understanding of the history of physiognomy from antiquity to the Renaissance, and offer discussions on unedited treatises and on the application, development, and reception of this field of knowledge, as well as on visual sources inspired by physiognomic theory.Contributors: Eniko Bekes (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Joel Biard (University of Tours), Lisa Devriese (KU Leuven), Maria Fernanda Ferrini (University of Macerata), Christophe Grellard (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes), Luis Campos Ribeiro (University of Lisbon), Maria Michela Sassi (University of Pisa), Oleg Voskoboynikov (Higher School of Economics Moscow), Steven J.

Inside view of fifty years of the Aristoteles Latinus project, a cornerstone of the study of medieval intellectual history.For fifty years, the Aristoteles Latinus project has deepened our understanding of how Aristotle entered the Latin Middle Ages. Based in Leuven and rooted in early twentieth-century international collaboration, the Aristoteles Latinus project has traced the complex paths by which Aristotle’s works were translated, read, and transmitted in medieval times. This volume brings together studies first presented at a conference celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the project's residence in Leuven and offers leading international scholars’ perspectives on the project’s ongoing work, ranging from manuscript traditions, philology and translation to natural philosophy, logic, metaphysics, and the study of medieval manuscripts. Together, the contributions show how deeply Aristotelian thought permeated medieval intellectual culture and highlight the continued vitality and range of current research on Aristoteles Latinus. The book will be of interest to historians of philosophy, medievalists, and philologists and anyone curious about medieval intellectual life.
