His reply was that both were equally reliable, but that chiromancy had more fixed roots, since the lines of the hand remain the same from birth, while the physiognomy may alter. Many things may be learned from physiognomy which chiromancy does not reveal and vice versa. But chiromancy is a subdivision of physiognomy. Codes further distinguished between physionomia mctkaphorica and physionomia confusa, the latter being that which we know in part and are in part ignorant of and which is worked out gradually in practice with great labor." Ferguson V, pp.50-68 Bartolomeo della Rocca, also known as Cocles (1467-1504) was a scholar of chiromancy, physiognomy, astrology, and geomancy who lived in Bologna, Italy during the rule of the House of Bentivoglio from 1323 to 1506. In the months which preceded April, 1498, he participated (with others) in the preparation of a list of predictions relating to the life expectancies of different personalities for Giovanni Bentivoglio, dictator of Bologna and father of his boss Alessandro Bentivoglio. The work of Bartolomeo della Rocca was promoted by the Italian philosopher Alessandro Achillini. His main work, Chiromantie ac physionomie anastasis was published in 1504 then the Compendio of Fisiognomica ("Compendium of Physiognomics"), was published after his death, in 1553 in Strasbourg. Bartolomeo della Rocca was assassinated by the Italian condottiero Ermes Bentivoglio because of his prediction that Ermes would die in battle. See - Ahonen, Marke (28 July 2013).

Paride da Ceresara, detto Tricasso "(10 February 1466 - 1532) was an Italian humanist, poet, alchemist and astrologer. He was born in Ceresara and was descended from the Ceresara, a noble family. He was in the service of Isabella d'Este in Mantua and came up with the mythological, allegorical and celebratory themes for at least two of the paintings in her noted studiolo and perhaps the whole cycle. Paride collected and translated classical works such as Plautus' Aulularia and also studied Hebrew. He also wrote a number of erotic sonnets, signed with his pseudonyms Patrizio Tricasso and Patrizio Tricasso da Ceresara. He was hosted at the court of Aloisio Gonzaga in Castel Goffredo as an astrologer. He was summoned to Mantua in 1532 by Federico II Gonzaga to become podestà of the city, where Paride built the Palazzo del Diavolo on the corso Predella (now corso Vittorio Emanuele II) as his personal residence. He died in Mantua." wiki Texte de Bartolommeo della Rocca, dit Cocles, avec les commentaires de Tricasso. BMC Italian Books, p.188. Rare - Not in Durling, Caillet, Laehr, Wellcome, Waller and Osler!.
