CARDANO, Girolamo. Hieronymi Cardani Mediolanensis De propria vita liber. Amstelædami, apud Joannem Rauesteinium, 1654 12mo; 130x75 mm. Legatura in piena pelle con titolo in oro al dorso a 3 nervi. Tagli picchiettati. Pp. [72], 288. Fregio xil. sul frontespizio. Iniziali e fregi xil. Buon esemplare. Rara seconda edizione. Si tratta della redazione definitiva dell’autobiografia del famoso ed influente umanista e filosofo naturale milanese. Fu pubblicata dal grande bibliografo francese Gabriel Naudé e da questi dedicata ad 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.” Redatto negli ultimi anni della sua vita, tra il 1575 e il 1576, rappresenta il punto terminale di una moltitudine di scritti autobiografici, che avevano avuto inizio con il proprio oroscopo stampato nella raccolta astrologica del 1543. È proprio da questo carattere originale dell'oroscopo che deriva l'incredibile profusione di dettagli del testo ha origine. Il medico-astrologo nel compilare l'oroscopo di un cliente doveva tenere conto non solo della configurazione celeste al momento della sua nascita, ma anche del suo tenore di vita, delle sue abitudini quotidiane, delle malattie che aveva e perfino della sua dieta. Nel proprio oroscopo, cioè quello della persona che conosceva meglio, Cardano non si comportò in modo diverso. In questo autentico testamento spirituale parla con franchezza della sua nascita illegittima, della sua vita sessuale, dei suoi dubbi interiori, dei suoi errori, delle sue convinzioni religiose, della morte di suo figlio per decapitazione dopo un uxoricidio, dei suoi beni, del mondo soprannaturale, del concetto di felicità. 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.”Cushing C76; Wellcome II, p. 300 (1654 ed.); Heirs of Hippocrates No. 251. Cfr. Anna Robeson Brown Burr, The Autobiography: A Critical and Comparative Study, 1909. 12mo; 130x75 mm. Full calf binding with gilt title on spine with 3 nervs. Spotted edges. Pp. [72], 288. Woodcut vignette on titlepage. Woodcut initial letters and ornaments. Good specimen. Rare second edition. This is the definitive version 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.

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.” Drafted 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 horoscope that the text's incredible profusion of details 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 illnesses he had, and even his diet. In writing his own horoscope, that is, that of the person he knew best, Cardano did not behave any differe. In this authentic spiritual testament he speaks frankly about his illegitimate birth, his sexual life, his internal doubts, his mistakes, his religious beliefs, the death of his son by decapitation after a murder, his possessions, the supernatural world, of the concept of happiness.

CARDANO, Girolamo. De subtilitate libri XXI. Paris, Jacques Du Puys, 1551 8vo piccolo, 168 x 102 mm. Legatura in piena pelle marrone a spruzzo, titolo su tassello e fregi in oro al dorso, tagli a spruzzo. Carte [24], 312. Segn.: Aa-Cc⁸ a-z⁸ A-Q⁸. Bianca la c. Cc8. Marca tipografica al frontespizio, Iniziali ornate, alcune su fondo nero criblé, numerose figure xilografiche nel testo. Firma di antico possessore alla carta 312 recto. Lievi tracce d’uso alla legatura, buono stato di conservazione. Rara edizione pubblicata un anno dopo la princeps del 1550. L’opera, di carattere filosofico e scientifico, ebbe molta fortuna. Cardano descrive e illustra una gran quantità di esperimenti fisici e di invenzioni, ma anche curiosità e prodigi. In apertura del libro 18 cita i prodigi di un prestigiatore spagnolo: tra le magie di costui compare, tra l'altro, il libro magico in grado di mostrare, se sfogliato opportunamente, figure sempre diverse. Schuh: “Essentially an encyclopedia, in De Subtilitate one can find some article on almost every subject, including substantial sections on technology, medicine, chemistry, mathematics, various branches of the occult, mineralogy, gemology, hydrodynamics, geology, electricity, etc, and descriptions of numerous experiments and apparatus, including the pumps and the screw of Archimedes and a system of Braille writing for the blind. It is thought by some to be based on the manuscript notes of Leonardo Da Vinci; however, it is more probably the sole work of Cardano's penetrating but erratic genius. The text also incorporates many woodcut illustrations which add considerably to the descriptions.”https://www.ustc.ac.uk/editions/150841Curtis P. Schuh, Mineralogy and Crystallography: An Annotated Biobibliography, n. 1047, con indicazione tipografica “Mathurinum Dupuys”; Adams, Cambridge Books, 1967: C-669; Schütze, Naturphilosophie, 2000. Cfr. Galland, Cryptography, 34; Wheeler Gift 37. Small 8vo, 168 x 102 mm. Full brown leather binding, title on the label and gilt decorations on the spine, spleckled edges. Leaves [24], 312. Sign: Aa-Cc⁸ a-z⁸ A-Q⁸. Leaf Nc8 is blank. Printer's device on the title page, decorated initials, some on a black criblé ground, numerous woodcut illustrations in the text. Signature of an previous possessor on leaf 312 recto. Slight traces of use on the binding, in good condition. Rare edition published one year after the princeps of 1550. The work, of a philosophical and scientific nature, was very successful. Cardano describes and illustrates a large number of physical experiments and inventions, but also curiosities and wonders. At the beginning of book 18 he mentions the prodigies of a Spanish conjurer: among the latter's magic appears, among other things, the magic book capable of showing, if leafed through appropriately, always different figures.

It is thought by some to be based on the manuscript notes of Leonardo Da Vinci; however, it is more probably the sole work of Cardano's penetrating but erratic genius. The text also incorporates many woodcut illustrations which add considerably to the descriptions.”This edition is particularly rare: in the bibliographies consulted, an edition appears with the same collation but with the typographical indication “Mathurinum Dupuys”.

CARDANO, Girolamo. Metoposcopia libris tredecim. Parigi, Thomas Jolly, 1658 In-folio. 330 x 220 mm.

Carattere Romano e Greco. Lievi tracce d’uso alla legatura, sporadico leggero foxing, bell’esemplare. Prima edizione postuma, riccamente figurata, a cura di Claude-Martin de Laurendiere. Garrison-Morton: “Cardan, the most celebrated physician of Europe in his time, and professor of medicine at Padua clained to be able to draw horoscopes from the appearance of the face”. La metoposcopia è l’arte della divinazione attraverso lo studio della fronte. Le linee presenti in una determinata zona sono dunque in corrispondenza con le caratteristiche di ciascun pianeta, così come sono definite dall’astrologia: il trattato propone poi una galleria di volti sui quali sono state tracciate diverse combinazioni di linee con le relative interpretazioni, in modo da offrire un’ampia casistica a supporto dell’osservazione empirica. In quest’edizione è incluso in appendice il trattato sui nei e sulle voglie della pelle attribuito a Melampus, autore del III secolo a.C., tradotto dal curatore, col testo originale greco. In-folio. 330x220mm. Contemporary roan binding, gilt triple fillet frame on the covers, double fillet on the squares, ornaments and gilt title on the spine, gold edges, marbled endpapers. Pages [8], VIII, 225, [2], 1 blank. Printer’s device on the title page, decorated Initials, woodcut headpieces and friezes, around 800 woodcut illustrations in the text, three of which full-page. Roman and Greek type. Slight traces of use on the binding, sporadic light foxing, a fine copy. First posthumous edition, richly illustrated, edited by Claude-Martin de Laurendiere. Garrison-Morton: “Cardan, the most celebrated physician of Europe in his time, and professor of medicine at Padua clained to be able to draw horoscopes from the appearance of the face”. Metoposcopy is the art of divination through the study of the forehead. The lines present in a given area therefore correspond to the characteristics of each planet, as defined by astrology: the treatise then proposes a gallery of faces on which various combinations of lines have been drawn with the relative interpretations, so to offer a wide range of cases in support of the empirical observation. This edition includes in the appendix the treatise on skin moles and birthmarks attributed to Melampus, author of the 3rd century BC, translated by the editor, with the original Greek text.
