La physionomie humaine de Iean Baptiste Porta neapolitain, divisée en quatre liures :
enrichie de quantité de figures tirées au naturel, ou par les signes exterieurs du corps, on voit si clairement la complexion, les mœurs, & les desseins des hommes, qu'on semble penetrer iusques au plus profond de leurs ames ... /
nouuellement traduite du latin en françois par le sieur Rault.
