“Conceive of memory not only as ‘rote,’ the ability to reproduce something (whether a text, a formula, a list of items, an incident) but as the matrix of a reminiscing cogitation, shuffling and collating ‘things’ stored in a random-access memory scheme, or set of schemes – a memory architecture and a library built up during one’s lifetime with the express intention that it be used inventively.” – Mary Carruthers, The Craft of Thought
Mintra Tansukhanunt of MaWiki has a good list of snippets/reading notes from Francis Yates' The Art of Memory at http://wiki.maidm.com/index.php/MintraArtOfMemory.
