A quick note - has anyone ever considered the possibility that Rabelais' Gargantua and of Pantagruel is the Ars memoriae made explicit? That the work is just a massive unfolding of his interior mnemonic system?
Just a question, although it would go a long way towards explaining the work...I'm not trying to reduce the work, this is merely something that occured to me while reading it alongside Yates' The Art of Memory.
