Physiognomonica

Spurious Authorship traditionally doubted — transmitted in the Aristotelian corpus but widely judged not to be by Aristotle.

Φυσιογνωμονικά

This edition presents the original Greek (Bekker (Berlin, 1831)) side by side with an English translation (T. Loveday and E. S. Forster) — with click-to-parse morphology, dictionary entries, and exact Bekker citation. 6 chapters.
