La physionomie humaine ... Divisée en quatre livres. Enrichie de quantité de figures tirées au naturel, ou par les signes exterieurs du corps, on voit si clairement la complexion, les moeurs, & les desseins des hommes, qu'on semble penetrer jusques au plus profond de leurs ames. Oeuvre d'une singuliere erudition ... / Nouvellement traduite du latin en françois par le sieur Rault.
