"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. Im zweiten Teil seine Autobiographie, erstmals 1544 erschienen, sowie medizinische, philosophische und mathematische Schriften, darunter eine interessante Abhandlung über Edelsteine und Farben.
