Notes | '\n{15} The so-called \"arts of memory,\" artes memorandi, which were taught commonly in the curricula of dialectic and rhetoric for roughly two thousand years between the fourth century BCE and the sixteenth century CE, belong to a different psychological country from that of the modern Western, post-Enlightenment \"memory\" that is the concern of most of the rest of this volume.\"\n' |
