Many notable scientists, especially in the West, have spent innumerable man-hours in their laboratories, trying to find out what these fascinating patterns on the palm mean in regard to the characteristics traits, psychology, behaviour and health of the subject is concerned. Notable palmists like Noel Jaquin, Charlotte Wolf, St. Katherine Hill, Beryl Hutchinson, Beverly Jaegers, etc., have endeavoured to apply this study for personality development, health care, career opportunities, and various other issues related to the progress and well-being of humanity. The notes prepared by A.S. Writer on palmistry, ridge patterns and medical palmistry are comprehensive and with a lot of illustrations to enable the readers and students to grasp these subjects in an easy manner. I request the students and the general readers who have interest in this humanistic field to do further observations and research as the study is open and wide. The notes compiled are only pointers to the various topics covered. Your efforts in this direction will only enrich knowledge on the above topics for the betterment of the race. Jinabhai Lad Principal, Jyotisha Bharati Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan 23rd September 2004 Updated: 19th April 2007 Prof. Anthony Writer, Jyotisha Bharati, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai SCIENTIFIC PALMISTRY (PART IV) – RIDGE PATTERNS, MEDICAL PALMISTRY, ETC. 9 PREFACE The present book is a compilation of material for students of the Second Year Jyotir Vid, who are employed or engaged in different professions. As time becomes a very scarce and perishable resource for the urban man. To cater to his need a lot of efforts have been put in preparing this material in a very exhaustive manner. To understand this text better it is absolutely necessary for students and lovers of palmistry to read the notes prepared for the first year. For serious students of this subject, I request that they should find time and make efforts to read as many books as possible that are mentioned in the bibliography. Making use of various web sites while surfing could help to a very great extent. A lot of emphasis is laid on the topics relating to dermatoglyphics and medical palmistry for research in these areas is lacking. Even if there is research done, the findings are kept secret and case studies to these subjects if ever published are either vague or not published at all. The students of Palmistry are kept in the dark of the latest developments in these areas. All the topics connected with these two branches of Palmistry are pointers to the students and lovers of Palmistry that much needs to be done through research, observations and findings backed by case studies. Knowledge in the field of chirology is not finite. Medical personnel and chirologists have done a lot of research in the field of dermatoglyphics, especially in the West, thereby opening the field for the study of medical palmistry and vocational palmistry, and making them two distinct branches of Palmistry.
