| Summary: | Two among the puzzles which have long interested medievalists are addressed in this lively and original study. One is what became of the classical art of memory in the medieval period largely stepped over by Frances Yates in her definitive study of The Art of Memory (1966); the other is how medieval preachers from the late twelfth- and thirteenth-century revival of the art of preaching, the orators of their times, remembered what they had to say. Much is known about the preachers’ aids, the dictionaries of theological terms, and, thanks to the work of David D’Avray and others, the collections of exempla. Recent studies have begun to explore various aspects of this foundation work in detail. |
