CARDANO, Girolamo. Hieronymi Cardani Mediolanensis De propria vita liber. Amstelædami, apud Joannem Rauesteinium, 1654 12mo; 130x75 mm. Full leather binding with gilt title to spine with 3 nerves. Spotted cuts. Pp. [72], 288. Xyl. frieze on title page. Initials and friezes xyl. Good copy. Rare second edition. This is the definitive redaction of the autobiography of the famous and influential Milanese humanist and natural philosopher. It was published by the great French bibliographer Gabriel Naudé and dedicated by him to Élie Diodati. Heirs of Hippocrates: "This rare first edition of Cardano's autobiography was edited by Gabriel Naudé who also prepared an extensive introduction containing a great deal of bibliographical information. It is considered by some to be one of the greatest human documents of all times and is most certainly a pioneering work in clinical psychology." Compiled in the last years of his life, between 1575 and 1576, it represents the terminal point of a multitude of autobiographical writings, which had begun with his own horoscope printed in the astrological collection of 1543. It is precisely from this original character of the horoscope that the text's incredible profusion of detail originates. The physician-astrologer in compiling a client's horoscope had to take into account not only the celestial configuration at the time of his birth, but also his standard of living, his daily habits, the diseases he had and even his diet. In his own horoscope, that is, that of the person he knew best, Cardano did not behave differently. In this authentic spiritual testament he speaks frankly about his illegitimate birth, his sex life, his inner doubts, his mistakes, his religious convictions, the death of his son by decapitation after a uxoricide, his possessions, the supernatural world, and the concept of happiness. Brown Burr: "The Book of his Life. was as much reprobated as the Confessions of Rousseau, as much read and as much imitated. It stands in the pages of seventeenth and eighteenth century learning, mentioned by such men as Huet, Burton, Sir Thomas Browne, as among the great intellectual influences of their lives. Cardan is among the first manifestations of what we term the scientific spirit; he is in the forefront of that new order which was to change the face of the universe.

L'Homme accompanied by remarkable iconographic apparatus, is devoted to the brain and the organ of sight and marks a significant advance in the study of physiology. For Descartes, the rules governing physiology are the same as those governing mathematics. The work, published posthumously, is introduced by a lengthy preface by editor Claude Clerselier, a faithful friend of Descartes. The work concludes with an insightful commentary on "l'Homme" and the figures that illustrate it, by Louys de La Forge, a physician and disciple of Descartes. For a long time it was considered the first comprehensive treatise on human physiology. To give an appendix to his "Discourse on Method," René Descartes (1596-1650) wrote it directly in French. In this edition, the Traité de l'homme is followed, from page 405, by the Traité de la lumière, which had appeared separately in 1664, in which Descartes expounds his physical theory of the universe.Tchemerzine, II-799; Guibert, p. 205. 4to. 245x180mm.
