Ali Hamadani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sayyid ‘Ali Hamadani was a Persian physician who lived before 1546 CE and was from Hamadan.

Sayyid Ali Hamdani composed a brief Persian essay on physiognomy titled Risalah-i qiyafah which is preserved in a unique copy now at the United States National Library of Medicine. The essay must have been written before 1546, when the copy was made.

The author is otherwise unknown, and nothing is known of his life.
