Abstract

Les chercheurs voulant étudier la physiognomonie médiévale sont confrontés à un matériel encore peu exploité. En effet, les études antérieures à ce sujet s'appuient sur des sources déjà connues. Ce présent article propose un inventaire, qui se veut le plus exhaustif possible, du matériel physiognomonique médiéval existant et qui, jusqu'à présent, avait été oublié ou n'avait tout simplement pas encore été découvert. L'inventaire répertorie les traités anonymes sur la physiognomonie médiévale repris dans les catalogues manuscrits des bibliothèques sous le titre imprécis : « » – appellation commune utilisée pour les différents traités. En conclusion, cet inventaire aborde la thématique générale de la physiognomonie médiévale et témoigne par la même occasion de la richesse des sources inconnues.

Abstract

Scholars who want to study medieval physiognomy are confronted with the fact that most of the material for this study is under-exploited. Previous studies have always relied on the same known sources. The article presents an inventory that is as complete as possible of the forgotten and previously undiscovered medieval physiognomic material. The inventory lists anonymous Latin medieval physiognomic treatises that have been referred to in manuscript catalogues under the vague title « » – a general name that was actually used for many different treatises. This inventory thus reveals the richness of unknown sources and of medieval physiognomy in general.
