Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.

The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works. The essays assembled in this book study the textualization of problematic forms of knowledge in medieval and early modern Spanish literature. Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzman de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.

Este libro es una (re)lectura critica de la ficcionalizacion de la geomancia en el Pantagruel y Tiers Livre de Francois Rabelais y los Suenos y discursos de Francisco de Quevedo. La autora enfoca el fenomeno geomantico desde una perspectiva tanto filologica como de la historia intelectual. La primera parte del estudio esta dedicada a la tradicion geomantica en Occidente, en especial a los manuales impresos altomodernos, mientras que la segunda aborda la censura de este arte adivinatorio por parte de la tratadistica antisupersticiosa contemporanea. La tercera y ultima parte expone en que medida Rabelais y Quevedo se apropian de ambas tradiciones, transformandolas esteticamente y, muchas veces, en virtud de los mismos modelos y principios literarios.
