CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Girolamo Cardan |
 | | Cardan also characterizes this ecstasy as the state of faith in which all the lower faculties, including the ratio, become quiescent, so that, according to him, faith and reason would seem to be incompatible. |
| | Cardan, it appears, had obtained the solution from Tartaglia, its original discoverer, under promise of the strictest secrecy. |
| | Cardan was also author of: "De Subtilitate libri XXI" (Nuremberg, 1550); "De Rerum Varietate libri XVII" (1557); "Opus novum de proportionibus numerorum, motuum, ponderum sonorum" (1570). |
