Sinopsis
The Book of Memory is a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated account of the workings and function of memory in medieval society. Memory was the psychological faculty valued above all others in the period stretching from late antiquity through to the Renaissance. The medieval assumption that human learning is above all based in memorative processes had profound implications for the contemporary understanding of all creative activity, and the social role of literature and art. Dr Carruthers looks at models for the understanding of memory, examines scholastic and early humanist adaptations of classical mnemotechniques, and throughout offers examples from the works of Dante, Chaucer, Aquinas and others. This study by a literary scholar draws upon insights from a variety of disciplines, including modern hermeneutical theory, art history and codicology, psychology and anthropology, the histories of medicine, education, and of meditation and spirituality. It will be important to students in all these fields who value interdisciplinary approaches to historical material.

Paper Back. Condición: Very Good. The Book of Memory examines the development and use of mnemonic devices, Both in the conventional sense of mental memory techniques, but also in a fascinatingly broad sense of new objects such as desks, shelves, writing objects, indexes, dictionaries, certain types books and illuminated manuscripts, and much more, that facilitated the exercise of memory. Medieval culture's valuation of memory over creativity (in contrast to modern tendencies) and its use of writing as a means to enhance memorization rather than as a replacement for memory, are major themes in Carruthers' work. The cultivation of the virtues through the interiorization of sacred texts was the goal of mnemonic ''technologies'' that developed especially in the twelfth century. 393 pp. Light cover wear, firm binding, pristine text.
