ANTHROPOSCOPIA (from anthropos, and scopia, consider), the art of judging or discovering a man's character, disposition, passions, and inclinations, from the lineaments of his body; in which sense anthroposcopy seems of somewhat greater extent than physiognomy or metoscopy. Otto has published an Anthroposcopya, sive iudicium hominis de homine ex lineamentis externis.
