Cardano’s Life and Writings

Markus Fierz

Chapter 1 in Girolamo Cardano, 1983, pp 1-36 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract OUR KNOWLEDGE of Cardano’s life and work comes primarily from his own writings. They abound with accounts of his personal experiences and turns of fortune. These serve him as examples for his teachings or as a means of showing that his doctrines are based on his own experiences. Unlike those of many of his contemporaries, Cardano’s personal statements have always proved to be truthful, insofar as they can be checked. His love of truth, in which he took pride, is beyond doubt.1
