Happy to help. Digging back into the same article:
"English translation by Dr. Sydney H. Gould, originally published in
Cardano, the Gambling Scholar (by Oystein Ore, Princeton U. Press,
1953); subsequently republished as a slim separate book (Holt, Rinehart
& Winston, 1961)."
I personally used the separate edition, which happened to be in my
university library...
