This unique and brilliant book is a history of human knowledge.
Before the invention of printing, a trained memory was of vital
importance. Based on a technique of impressing 'places' and
'images' on the mind, the ancient Greeks created an elaborate
memory system which in turn was inherited by the Romans and passed
into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, during
the Renaissance. Frances Yates sheds light on Dante's Divine
Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of
ancient architecture; The Art of Memory is an invaluable
contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of
philosophy, of science and of literature.
