Why read it?
1 author picked The Hermetic Art of Memory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a student of Giordano Bruno, Alexander Dicsone keenly observed the problems his students had with Bruno's meditative memory techniques. In two commentaries, he unfolded the memory tradition from another angle, including how to use the moon as a Memory Palace.
The book is not only instructional but humorous and the translation is a delight to read. It is also annotated for the more serious reader who wishes to go deeper into the references in the text and follow up with additional resources.
