Who wrote the first book on handwriting analysis?
I have been scouring the internet and can’t find this anywhere. Please help, I need to know for a research paper!
Answer
The idea has been around for millennia, but it seems that the first book written about it was by an Italian.
“In 1622, the first known published book on graphology emerged. The book was written by Camillo Baldi, an Italian doctor of medicine and philosophy (and professor at the University of Bologna).”
