People with this type of hand are always studious.

They are great readers and usually have a strong tendency towards literature.

They love sedentary work, and have a somewhat lonely, ascetic disposition.

Perhaps on account of this quality they are very often found in church-life, or largely associated with religious movements.

The monks of old, I mean those who compiled those wonderful manuscripts on doctrine, science, art, alchemy, and occult matters, all had this class of hand.
