'HE PROFILE OF CARDANO
reproduced on the
preceding page appears for the first time on the title
page of the Basel edition 1554 of
De Subtilitate
(Ludovicus
Lucius anno 1554). A similar portrait, somewhat smaller,
can be found on the title page of Cardano's Commentaries
on Cl. Ptolemy's "Quadripartitum" (Basel, Henri Petri
1554). Both woodcuts are reproductions of a medal from
the Mint of Milan ascribed to Leone Leone: vide G. F.
Hill and G. Pollard, "Renaissance Medals from the
S. H. Kress Collection," N. 436 (London, 1967).
All later portraits of Cardano go back
to
the said wood-
cuts. The well-known engraving in Vol. I of the "Opera"
(1663) has the features accentuated to the demonic, re-
flecting the baroque, seventeenth century view of Car-
dano's personality.
