1. The theme was introduced in Yates, F. (1966) The Art of Memory (Chicago: Chicago University Press), for the interpretation of Giordano Bruno's ars memoriae. Since then it has been exhaustively examined not only in the history of art and ideas of the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries (most recently L. Bulzoni (2001) La stanza della memoria. Modelli letterari e iconografici nell'età della stampa (Turin: Einaudi)), but also in the late Middle Ages (M. Carruthers (1990) The Book of Memory. A Study of Memory in Medieval Culture (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press); A. Bernat Vistarini and T. Sajó (2013) Arte de recordar. Imágenes del Evangelio (Palma: Olañeta)) and even in Ming-era China, where it was introduced by the Jesuit missionaries received as scholars in Emperor Kangxi's court (J. D. Spence (1985) The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci (London: Faber & Faber)). A good modern summary of the topic is D. Draaisma (2000). Metaphors of Memory.
