Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), renowned as a mathematician, encyclopedist, astrologer, and autobiographer, was by profession a medical practitioner. This book draws on selected themes in Cardano's medical writings to explore in detail the relation between medicine and wider areas of Renaissance culture.
