	Cardan - LoveToKnow 1911
		As a believer in astrology Cardan was on a level with the best minds of his age; the distinction consisted in the comparatively cautious spirit of his inquiries and his disposition to confirm his assertions by an appeal to facts, or what he believed to be such.
		Cardan had now attained the summit of his prosperity, and the rest of his life was little but a series of disasters.
		Through the intercession, as would appear, of some influential cardinals, Cardan was released, but was deprived of his professorship, prohibited from teaching and publishing any further, and removed to Rome, where he spent his remaining years in receipt of a pension from the pope.

	Cardan biography
		Cardan was fortunate to obtain Fazio's former post of lecturer in mathematics at the Piatti Foundation in Milan which gave him plenty of free time and he used some of this to treat a few patients, despite not being a member of the College of Physicians.
		Cardan was at the height of his fame and, as a consequence, his journey to Scotland was remarkable in that everywhere he went scientific communities treated him as a celebrity and the world's leading scientist.
		Cardan is reported to have correctly predicted the exact date of his own death but it has been claimed that he achieved this by committing suicide.

	History of Algebra - Scipio Ferrens, Tartalea of Brescia, Jerome Cardan
		The celebrated Cardan was a contemporary of Tartalea.
		Cardan was not long in discovering the reason of the rules, and he even greatly improved them, so as to make them in a manner his own.
		It is to be regretted that in many instances the authors of important discoveries have been overlooked, while the honours due to them have been transferred to others having only secondary pretensions.

	September 20th
		It was not without considerable difficulty that Cardan was prevailed on to enter on this new undertaking, as he entertained the perfectly natural belief that the archbishop had inveigled him so far on the way, knowing well that he would have absolutely refused to visit Scotland had he been invited to do so at Milan.
		Cardan for a much longer period.; but the latter was inexorable, being both impatient to return to his country and family, and unwilling to face the inclement skies of a Scottish winter.
		Throughout life, Cardan never enjoyed robust health, but his literary activity was excessive, and it is said that he left behind him no less than one hundred and thirty-one printed works and one hundred and eleven in manuscript, besides having written a large amount of matter which he had committed to the flames.

	Historical Writings of Precious Gem Stones
		Cardan designates under the generic name of gems all the brilliant stones, and reserves the name of precious stones for those which are not only brilliant, but rare, and of small dimensions.
		According to Cardan, precious stones are engendered ("in the same manner as the infant from the maternal blood") by juices that distil from precious minerals in the cavities of the rocks: the diamond, the emerald, and the opal from gold; the sapphire from silver; and the carbuncle, the amethyst, and the garnet from iron.
		Without precisely rejecting this notion, Cardan confesses that he carries ordinarily a very large hyacinth, and that it has never appeared to contribute anything towards making him sleep; but he adds immediately, and with perfect naivete, that his hyacinth has not the true colour, and may possibly be far from good.
