| In 1503 Bartolommeo della Rocca and Alessandro Achellini publish 'Anastasis of Bolognese doctors and hermetical philosophers', where they state that: Soul acts according to the shape of the body ... Plato, the wisest, writes, that likeness of human and animal features results in similar nature. Who has an eagle-nose is noble, cruel, and predator such as an eagle. People having their heads like a Spanish dog are quick-tempered and talkative ... Leonardo was not very enthusiastic about these ideas, and wrote in his Tractate on painting that these theories are very deceptive. |
