F[rat]ris Pauli capucini profitensis. (i.e. teacher). Copiously annotated in possibly two elegant C17 hands, including several alphabetical lists for memorising, blank pp. R3v-4r, around plate on R6r, and a running list to ff. Z3v-Bb4r, occasional corrections. First edition of this fascinating and wonderfully illustrated treatise on memory, utilising visual aids including Heaven, Hell, and the celestial spheres - illustrating a memory system inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy - anatomical and zoological illustrations, and tables of contemporary objects and rebuses, as well as Persian and Hebrew alphabets, and an alphabetical sign language employing the hands. The author was a Dominican friar from Florence who died the year before this work, apparently his only output, was published. This copy has been extensively annotated by a contemporary, likely monastic reader, including four alphabetical memory lists, of ecclesiastical dignities, place names, body parts and corporeal qualities, and instruments and apparatuses. Rosselli's work precedes the most famous Renaissance works of memory, by the Italian polymath Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), by several years. Both Dominicans, Rosselli and Bruno were participating in a tradition of memory treatises associated with the religious order, the earliest being Johannes Romberch's Congestorium artificiosae memoriae of 1520. Rosselli begins with a prose description of Hell, accompanied by mnemonic Latin epigrams and quatrains by a fellow Dominican who was also an Inquisitor, 'giving an impressive air of great orthodoxy to the artificial memory' (Frances Yates, The Art of Memory (London: 1966), p. 122). Hell is illustrated with a superb woodcut (C4r) showing Lucifer in the centre surrounded by concentric circles of heretics, Jews, idolators, hypocrites, those guilty of the seven deadly sins, all encompassed by the river Styx, various Limbos, and Purgatory. 'As Rosselli cheerfully observes, 'the variety of punishments, inflicted in accordance with the diverse nature of the sins, the different situations of the damned, their varying gestures, will much help memory and give many loci' (Yates, p. 122). This is accompanied by descriptions with woodcut illustrations of the celestial and terrestrial spheres, and of Paradise or the Heavenly Jerusalem, the latter illustrated with a woodcut (K1v, duplicated N3r) showing Cherubim and Seraphim, the Tree and Fountain of Life, the Throne of Christ, Seat of the Virgin, and regions inhabited by children, Hebrew saints, martyrs, virgins, angels, princes, etc. The remainder consists of lists, often alphabetised. The annotator, using miniscule script, extensively glossed Rosselli's lists of philosophers and gemstones, while the main annotator, in large script, added to the author's lists and annotated woodcut tables for memorisation. Young p. 307. EDIT16 CNCE 27839. Adams R803. Brunet IV, 1402. Not in Mortimer.

Numerous woodcut initials, headpieces, and tailpieces, three woodcut plates (one folding), 25 full-page woodcut illustrations or diagrams, and one half-page diagram. Verso of title with "Duplicate" stamp of the library of Bernard Zufall. Young, p. 307; Wellcome I, 5572; Durling 3947; BM STC Italian, p. 588; Adams R-803; EDIT16 CNCE 27839; Rosenthal, Bibliotheca Magica 6083 ("Ouvrage très-remarquable"). See also: Yates, "The Art of Memory" pp. 128-29. âA few leaves browned near the end (infrequent faint browning elsewhere), but the majority of the contents clean and crisp, and the retrospective binding altogether satisfactory. This important and intriguing work on the art of memory contains an array of striking woodcuts, including the earliest known representation of a digital sign language. Written by the Dominican friar Cosimo Rosselli (d. 1578) and published posthumously, the "Treasury of Artificial Memory" educates the user on different systems to aid the memory, including the use of loci, mnemonic devices, and cryptography. The woodcuts here are very appealing in general, but a few deserve special mention. The first is a map of Hell, neatly divided into an outer ring with separate sections for each of the seven deadly sins, and inner rings for hypocrites, idolators, Jewish infidels, and heretics, leading to a fiery well at the center of it all. As Yates translates for us, "Rossellius cheerfully observes 'the variety of punishments, inflicted in accordance with the diverse nature of the sins, the different situations of the damned.'" He says that "their varying gestures" will offer numerous avenues to aid the memory. There is also a map of Heaven, or Paradise, arranged in a similar fashion as Hell, with the Throne of Christ at its center, the Apostles, Patriarchs, Prophets, Martyrs, Confessors, Virgins, and Sacred Hebrews arranged around the exterior ring, and the Innocents, Virtues, Angels, et al. around the inner ring. This "map" serves a similar function to its infernal companion, suggesting various loci that one could use to arrange one's thoughts and stimulate the memory. Other images of note include a diagram of the universe arranged in half-circles (like an amphitheater), a visual alphabet that associates various letters with objects they suggest (a crescent moon suggesting a "C," the head of a crozier suggesting a "P"), and, of course, a digital sign language showing how various finger positions can represent letters of the alphabet. Perhaps most significantly, among its illustrations of the human form, there is a phrenological depiction demonstrating an understanding that the brain's different areas perform differing operations. Our copy comes from the library of magician and memory expert Bernard Zufall (1894-1971), known as the "Human Encyclopedia." Zufall amassed the largest known collection of books on mnemonics, in excess of 1,000 titles, which (except for duplicates like the present volume) he donated to Yale University.
