Note 7 — Chapter VII
Archibald Lovell translation
"Jerome Cardan pretended to have written most of his books under the dictation of a Familiar Spirit ... but, in his treatise De Rerum Varietate, he ingenuously declares that he had never had any other genius but his own: Ego certe nullum dæmonem aut genium mihi adesse cognosce" (Note of Paul Lacroix.)
