Sorry, mentally mixed up 13th with 1300s and so wrote 14th. His correct dates appear to be 1175 – 1232, thanks for pointing that out.
As I understand it, he wrote the original text. This was copied quite a bit, and the book was immensely popular across Europe over the next several hundred years.
He had nothing to do with the actual manuscript I posted, which was made, it seems, in 1440. His text formed the bulk of the content which also included other texts, as was the form for the Physiognomiae at the time.
You have amply fleshed out the context of this particular manuscript above, many thanks.
