Girolamo Cardano
Girolamo Cardano (1501–1576), physician, mathematician, astrologer and gambler, wrote at seventy-four the most candid autobiography of the Renaissance: his family and birth, his illnesses and dreams, his guardian spirit, his enemies, his books and the execution of his son. Hermann Hefele’s German translation (Jena, 1914) with his introduction and chronology, proofread against the first edition and annotated by Bernhard Trebuch. Reading sample: the introduction, Cardano’s preface and the first four chapters.
