GRAPHOLOFY – THE FORGOTTEN ART

The History of Graphology.

Sumerian merchants were the first to codify their transactions in a recognisable

script in 3000BC and the earliest understanding of an individual's character from
their handwriting goes back to 500BC when Confucius warned “Beware of a man
whose writing sways like a reed in the wind”.

The Italians in the early 17th century were the founders of modern graphology – with
activity centred on the city of Bologna, home of the oldest university and where
graphology is still taught today. It is from Italy that graphology has become a
recognised subject in the study of human nature and identity all over the world.

science also reveals the meaning hidden in the text - Something like factual lies or
other facts, which are not mentioned in the text. While further describing the
strength of the science, verse says that the science is as good as World’s eye. It
can reveal everything to the world. And the one who is not willing to use it, is as
good as a blind.
