In this paper, the author offers an interpretation of Galen’s presence in the work of the Italian humanist and physician Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576) through an analysis of his book De immortalitate animorum (1545), where Galen plays a double role, on one hand, as object of a critical review, and, on the other, as a very influential theoretical and literary model.
