English edition. To memorize anything, distribute vivid,
emotionally stirring imagined images around a piece of familiar
architecture. This is the method of loci, or memory palace method,
first developed in classical antiquity. Giordano Bruno perfected
the art in the late 16th Century. He published a series of books on
the subject, beginning with "De Umbris Idearum (On the Shadows of
Ideas)." His work and life would lead him across the major centers
of Renaissance Europe, to the patronage of kings and nobles, the
scorn and envy of academics, and ultimately to his imprisonment and
execution at the hands of the Roman Inquisition in 1600. Bruno's
works have been reprinted periodically since his death. The current
edition is the first complete English translation to be published.
