The Interpretation of Dreams

Markus Fierz

Chapter 6 in Girolamo Cardano, 1983, pp 125-155 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract IN HIS WRITINGS on astrology Cardano for the most part followed the classical authorities. As an interpreter of dreams, however, he is of remarkable originality. Antiquity left us no substantial theoretical work on this art which claims to be scientific and which could, therefore, have served Cardano as a model. It is unlikely that such a work existed. Cardano tried to fill this gap with his Synesiorum Somniorum omnis generis insomnia explicates, libri IV. According to a note in De Libris propriis, he wrote the book around 1545, but later revised and enlarged it.1 It was published in Basel in 1562 and translated into German the following year.2
