About the Book

Quelques mois avant sa mort en 1576, Gerolamo Cardano (notre Cardan, ne en 1501 a Pavie) se lance dans la redaction de ce Livre de ma vie, en cinquante-quatre chapitres, dont il n'aura pas le temps de donner une version definitive, pour autant que l'expression ait un sens chez cet eternel insatisfait, toujours pret a amender, voire a detruire celles de ses uvres qu'il juge inabouties. En depit de cela, le De vita propria, ouvrage apologetique ou Cardan entend demontrer a l'Inquisition la purete d'une ame hors d'atteinte des tentations heretiques, constitue, en Europe, la premiere veritable autobiographie: l'auteur, a l'origine d'une longue tradition qui culminera peut-etre avec Rousseau, y fait profession de sincerite absolue, dans un devoilement exhaustif de sa personnalite tourmentee. Defile donc ici l'expose sans complaisance de ses faiblesses et succes, avec, sotto voce, la confidence de ses ambitions et deboires de medecin, de savant et de philosophe, dans une atmosphere etrange marquee de l'irruption recurrente du surnaturel: Cardan vit en effet dans un monde peuple des signes multiples que lui adresse, sous forme cryptee, une genereuse Providence, et dont il se reproche de n'avoir pas saisi le sens au moment de son drame essentiel, celui de l'execution de son fils accuse de l'assassinat de son epouse. Cette edition, appuyee pour la premiere fois sur les quatre manuscrits du livre connus a ce jour, se propose de rendre compte du texte tel que Cardan l'a laisse, et que les editeurs ont par la suite corrige et clarifie a leur guise. Elle s'accompagne d'une traduction aussi fidele que possible a un texte riche mais rugueux, ainsi que d'une presentation et d'une annotation destinees a reintroduire l'uvre dans l'univers fragile et instable ou baigne son singulier auteur.
