Description
HUARTE (Juan). An Examination of Minds Suited to and Born for the Sciences, in which, through marvellous and useful secrets, one may draw upon both true natural and divine philosophy, and in which the difference between the gifts and abilities found in men is demonstrated.

A new edition of Gabriel Chappuis’s French translation, first published in 1580, of the *Examen de ingenios para las ciencias* by the Spanish physician Juan Huarte de San Juan (1529–1588), one of the earliest medical treatises on the relationship between psychology and physiology, published in 1575.
