The Art of Memory
- First published1966
- TraditionHermeticism
- Shelf49 books
Frances A. Yates traces the classical art of memory, a technique of placing images in imagined locations, from ancient rhetoric through medieval scholasticism to its transformation in the Renaissance. She shows how figures such as Ramon Llull, Giulio Camillo, Giordano Bruno and Robert Fludd turned it into an occult and cosmological system. A classic of intellectual history, it illuminates the overlap of rhetoric, philosophy and magic in early modern Europe.
