* The Characters, a book by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus

* A Book of ' Characters ' from Theophrastus, Joseph Hall, Sir Thomas Overbury, Nicolas Breton, John Earle

Theophrastus depicts in his Characters ( IV, 2 – 3 ) a peasant whose thyme breath inconveniences his neighbours at the Ecclesia.

This Cyprian Aphrodite is the same as the later Hermaphroditos, which simply means Aphroditos in the form of a herm ( see Hermae ), and first occurs in the Characters ( 16 ) of Theophrastus.

The earliest mention of Hermaphroditus in Greek literature is by the philosopher Theophrastus ( 3rd century BC ), in his book The Characters, XVI The Superstitious Man, in which he portrays various types of eccentric people.

In The Characters ( c. 319 BC ), Theophrastus introduced the “ character sketch ,” which became the core of “ the Character as a genre .” It included 30 character types.

The book has been regarded by some as an independent work ; others incline to the view that the sketches were written from time to time by Theophrastus, and collected and edited after his death ; others, again, regard the Characters as part of a larger systematic work, but the style of the book is against this.

Theophrastus has found many imitators in this kind of writing, notably Joseph Hall ( 1608 ), Sir Thomas Overbury ( 1614 – 16 ), Bishop Earle ( 1628 ), and Jean de La Bruyère ( 1688 ), who also translated the Characters.

George Eliot also took inspiration from Theophrastus ' Characters, most notably in her book of caricatures, Impressions of Theophrastus Such.

An Arabic manuscript of Ibn Wahshiyya's book Kitab Shawq al-Mustaham, a work that discusses a number of ancient alphabets, in which he deciphered a number of Egyptian hieroglyphs, was later read by Athanasius Kircher in the 17th century, and then translated and published in English by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall in 1806 as Ancient Alphabets and Hieroglyphic Characters Explained ; with an Account of the Egyptian Priests, their Classes, Initiation, and Sacrifices in the Arabic Language by Ahmad Bin Abubekr Bin Wahishih, 16 years before Jean-François Champollion's complete decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
