Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. The celebrated autobiography of Jerome Cardan, better known as Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), the Italian Renaissance physician, mathematician, astrologer, philosopher, inventor, and gambler. Translated from the Latin by Jean Stoner. Cardano's unusually candid narrative records his medical career, intellectual disputes, family tragedies, dreams, illnesses, eccentricities, and lifelong fascination with fate and the occult. Written with remarkable psychological self-awareness, it is frequently regarded as one of the earliest modern autobiographies. Octavo. xviii, 331 pages, with portrait frontispiece. Original gray-green cloth with black lettering and ruled decoration. This 1930 Dutton edition introduced Stoner's English translation, which remains the standard version frequently reprinted today. Bibliographic details are confirmed by the University of Milan's Cardano archive. Detailed Condition Fair condition, without dust jacket. Original cloth is heavily worn, rubbed, and soiled, with exposed boards at the corners and along portions of the edges. Significant fraying, splitting, and cloth loss at the head of the spine; additional wear and small areas of loss at the tail and along the spine. Small abrasion or former label-removal area on the lower spine. Boards remain attached. Binding shows age and handling wear but remains usable. Pages are age-toned with scattered foxing, spotting, and occasional staining, including foxing to the title page. Portrait frontispiece present. No ownership inscription or institutional marking is visible in the supplied photographs. A worn but complete reading or reference copy. Significance and Collector Appeal Cardano was among the most versatile figures of the Renaissance. He made important contributions to algebra and probability while maintaining a prominent medical practice and writing extensively on philosophy, natural science, dreams, and astrology. His autobiography is prized for its frank, idiosyncratic depiction of Renaissance intellectual and private life. The 1930 Dutton edition is particularly significant as the first appearance of Jean Stoner's influential English translation. Shipping and Returns Carefully packed for shipment.
