The Medieval Craft of Memory by Mary Carruthers
Author:Mary Carruthers
Language: eng
Format: epub
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press, Inc.
1. I have added the phrase here and once elsewhere “and of their Arab interpreters,” since Albertus seems be speaking not strictly of the ancient Peripatetics but rather of a broader category that includes Averroes and Avicenna.
2. The book in question is presumably Albertus’s rather than Aristotle’s.
3. The central section of this sentence is a direct quotation from Aristotle’s De memoria et reminiscentia.
4. The Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1975-) cites imitago as having originated in Late Latin as an etymological gloss on imago, showing its derivation from imitari or the like.
5. The relevant passage in the Rhetorica ad Herennium (3.19.32) advises that the backgrounds be “neither too bright nor too dim.” By emphasizing that the places be ill-lit, Albertus adjusts the passage, whether consciously or not, to what Mary Carruthers has designated an aesthetic of “Gothic gloom”; see Carruthers, Craft of Thought, 216–17.
