The series ADocumenta MnemonicaA will comprise a total of 8 volumes
providing access to the sources on memorial philosophy and art from
antiquity to the early modern age. Volume I is the first to make
available to interdisciplinary research the most important
philosophical, rhetorical, theological and medical testimonies of
concern with the subject of memory (memoria). The present
part-volume (the first of three) contains 33 texts in chronological
order by authors representing the incipient and early phase of the
engagement with memory and memorialization. Multi-language keyword
and name indexes, an extensive list of references and an afterword
pointing up the main lines of development ensure the manual optimal
utility.
The volume presents the 21 most important encyclopedia and lexicon
articles from the 16th to 19th centuries on the subject of 'memory,
mnemonics and the art of memoria', complete with commentaries,
translations (from Latin, Italian and Spanish), a detailed
bibliography and an afterword discussing the relations between
early modern age mnemonics and the idea of the encyclopedia. It is
the first of a planned series presenting the most important
relevant material from Classical antiquity to the end of the early
modern age in multilingual, annotated source editions, source
indexes and research bibliographies, thus enhancing its
accessibility for further academic research in a convenient and
reliable form.
This volume assembles the papers presented at an international
interdisciplinary symposium at the University of Marburg in early
1993. The 28 contributors marshal an extensive range of historical
examples with a view to providing broad surveys and theoretical
discussion of the way in which prescribed ceremonial etiquette and
ceremonial practice can be drawn upon to delineate the aesthetics
of courtly (also ecclesiastical and urban) culture. Reference is
made to various aspects of the history of art, literature, theatre,
science and the church.
