Signatures: *4 **2 a4 A-3I4 3K2 Rare exemplaire de l'édition originale de la traduction française (attribuée à Augustin Choppin). Il s'agit de la traduction du "Proxeneta, seu De Prudentia civili liber", rédigé en 1566 et publié pour la première fois de manière posthume en 1627, dans lequel le fameux médecin, mathématicien et astrologue Jérôme Cardan (1501-1576) expose sa stratégie de conduite dans le monde. L'ouvrage fait autant appel à la fermeté d'âme qu'à la prudence et à un sens profond de l'équivoque, et se fait place ainsi entre les grands traités de Machiavel et de Baltasar Gracian. Etat satisfaisant (frontispice débroché avec mouill., volume en partie dérelié avec faiblesses aux premiers feuillets, petit mq. angulaire au feuillet de titre, bon exemplaire par ailleurs, bien complet dans une agréable reliure du temps).

rigide. Condition: Assez bon. Traduits de Latin en François, par Richard le Blanc, Nouvellement reveus, corrigez, & augmentez sur le dernier exemplaire Latin de l'Auteur, & enrichy de plusieurs figures necessaires, 1 vol. in-8 reliure ancienne demi-basane marron, Chez La Veuve du Bosc, Rouen, 1642, 36 ff., 478 folios Très curieux ouvrage selon Caillet. Cette édition reprend la traduction de 1584 non censurée, établie à partir de l'édition latine de Bâle de 1554 ("De subtilitate libri XXI"). Le fameux médecin, mathématicien et astrologue Jérôme Cardan (1501-1576) y évoque une multitude de thèmes : des métaux ("Elémens métalliques", des pierres, des sens, de l'Univers, des plantes et des bêtes, des arts, "des inventions merveilleuses", etc., développés en 21 chapitres, conformément aux 21 clefs du Tarot d'après Guaita. L'ouvrage est orné de très nombreuses figures, gravées sur bois, dans le texte. One of his two encyclopaedias of natural science, this work contains "a little of everything : from cosmology to the construction of machines ; from the usefulness of natural sciences to the evil influence of demons ; from the laws of mechanics to cryptology. It is a mine of facts, both real and imaginary ; of notes on the state of the sciences ; of superstition, technology, alchemy and various branches of the occult" (DSB). The similarity with Leonardo da Vinci led some historians (for instance Pierre Duhem) to suppose that Cardano had used Leonardo's manuscript notes. In this work, Cardano gives "the first description of a flour-sifting machine, and mentions the sifting property of undulating air, a fact only rediscovered by F. W. Winkler" (Sotheran, Catalogue 770, 1769). Etat très satisfaisant (reliure frottée mais bien solide avec fente en dos, mq. en coiffes, coupes frottées, bon état intérieur).

He covered almost every branch of knowledge in his writings; philosophy, mathematics, physics, hygiene, medicine, astronomy and astrology, and theology. He was an early follower of Paracelsus and his advanced thinking as well as his disputations and obstinate character made many enemies for him" (Heirs 246). Cardanus versucht, ebenso wie Paracelsus, die Theosophie, die Astrologie und die Kabbalah mit der Heilkunde zu vereinen.

The extremely rare first edition of the most important Renaissance work on dreams, arguably the most important book on dream interpretation up until Freud. (Appended thereto as the second part of a collection of earlier works by Cardano, gathered here for the first time. This part lacks the leaf with the printer's device). "Cardano is unusual among Renaissance writers on dreams, in that he both records a good many of his own dreams, displaying keen interest in them, and has a highly developed theory about the causation of dreams and the method of interpreting them. His book on dreams, "Somniorum Synesiorum Libri IIII", comprises an exhortation to interpret dreams, an account of how dreams are caused, classifications of them, advice on how to interpret them, and a final chapter describing fifty-five of his own dreams." (Alice Brown, Girolamo Cardanos's Somniorum Synesiorum Libri III, 1979). Girolamo Cardano/Hieronymus Cardanus (1501 -1576) was an extremely important Renaissance polymath, being an influential mathematician, physician, biologist, physicist, chemist, astrologer, astronomer, philosopher, writer, - and gambler. He is often referred to as the greatest mathematician of the Renaissance and was one of the key figures in the foundation of probability as well as the one whointroduced binomial coefficients and the binomial theorem to the Western world. His great work on dreams was also extremely influential and has always been considered of the utmost importance to the understanding of his scientific theories and world view. His theories about dreams are closely connected to his scientific theories about the world and bridges the gap of our understanding of his thoughts about certainty of knowledge. This great work on dreams, dream interpretation, and the cause of dreams, constitutes a fundamental attempt at understanding the mind and therefore the boundaries of our knowledge. "Cardano admired experience and was a determined advocate of natural science. But at the same time he was aware of the insufficiency of empiricism and insisted upon the justice of the claims of mathematical reason. He even went so far as to stress that our knowledge can be protected against uncertainty only by the employment of a method that led from the one to the many. He held, however, that owing to the way in which the mind is tied to the body, the synthesis between reason and sensuous knowledge was most precarious and prevented a perfect understanding of those ideal and incorporeal essences which constitute the principles of bodies. It also makes it impossible for us to visualise adequately the original connections through which the separate things arise out of their principles. Our physical knowledge is a superficial knowledge. It makes us glide over things without probing their souls and is based upon analogies and parables. In short, Cardano was fully aware of the difficulty of the passage from the mental to the real, from ideas to things." (Eugenio Garin: Italian Humanism, 1965, pp. 188-89). "Girolamo Cardano conceived and outlined his four books on dreams according to Synesius' philosophy between 1535 and 1537. Originally divided into ten books, the volume underwent subsequent modifications until it was published in 1562. We know from Cardano's own testimony how the key episodes in his life were always heralded or accompanied by dreams. From this point of view, the 1562 summa on dreams reflects one of the most critical of such moments. As Jean-Yves Boriaud explains in the introduction to his new Latin edition and French translation of Somniorum Synesiorum libri quatuor, in the year prior to the composition of this work, Cardano was undergoing intense dream activity as a result of the tragic execution in 1560 of his son Giovanni Battista, who had been charged with poisoning his wife. From that moment on, the death of his son would represent a watershed moment in both his life and literary career. For this reason, too, Somniorum Synesiorum libri quatuor deserves to be considered as one of Cardano's most important writings and Boriaud's edition should be saluted as a notable accomplishment. (Giglioni, Guido (2010) Synesian Dreams. Giacomo Cardano on dreams as means of prophetic communication. Bruniana & Campanelliana, XVI (2). pp. 575-584.).The work is of the utmost scarcity.

Item ad Somniorum libros pertinentia: De minimis et propinquis. De summo bono. "450 years ago this month, in September 1562, the celebrated Basel press of Sebastian Henric Petri, published a two-volume edition of miscellaneous works by Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576?), the famous Milanese polymath whose books were always in great demand. The first volume consisted of the Somniorum Synesiorum Omnis Generis Insomnia Explicantes, a work dealing with dreams, their classification, origin and interpretation. The second volume contained eleven shorter philosophical and medical treaties, among which was the Encomium Neronis, a new biographical treatment of Nero, the much-maligned Roman emperor. It is a work that still has much to teach us, four and a half centuries later. Today, the name of Girolamo Cardano pop ups here and there in books dealing with certain scientific matters. But he probably left his greatest mark on the study of algebra with the publication in Nuremberg in 1545 of his Ars Magna, which contained the solution to cubic equations. His frankness-which reaches its apex in his discussion of the sexual habits attributed to Nero- can be shocking to a modern reader. " Angleo Paratico, A Cold Case of Historical Bias Enthält u.a. die frühe Abhandlung über Schlaf, Schlaflosigkeit, Traum, Traumdeutung, natürliche und übersinnliche Träume etc. Alle Erläuterungen sind mit Beispielen belegt, Cardanus berichtet auch von seinen eigenen Träumen, die seine Lebensentscheidungen beeinflusst haben.
