One of the Modern Library's 100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century.
In this study of how people learned to retain vast stores of knowledge before the invention of the printed page, Frances A. Yates traces the art of memory from Greek orators, through the Middle Ages, to the occult forms it took in the Renaissance, and finally to its use in the 17th century.
