Algebra Mathematics Equations and formulae Renaissance 16th century Italy Cardano, Girolamo

Despite being a mathematical treatise on equations by one of the most renown scholar of the Renaissance, the "De Regula Aliza" (Basel, 1570) by Cardano has been until nowadays highly overlooked. Many reasons can be called into play and, first of all, that this treatise is no easy reading, mainly due to the lack of an inner, well-articulated logical structure. Nevertheless, in the framework of Cardano’s algebraic treatises, the "De Regula Aliza" has a fundamental role: trying to overcome the major problem – later called "casus irreducibilis" – that emerges from his masterpiece "Ars Magna." This article provides a general overview of the features of this treatise.
