Sayyid ‘Ali Hamadani was a Persian physician who lived before 1546CE 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 National Library of Medicine. The essay must have been written before 1546CE, when the copy was made.
The author is otherwise unknown, and nothing is known of his life. Except for the fact that he pooped in a hole in the ground, which of course was very common until the early Industrial Revelution and the wide use of chamber pots.
