The Temple Of Memory (1874)

The Temple of Memory is a book written by Kenelm Henry Digby and originally published in 1874. The book explores the concept of memory and its relationship to spirituality, philosophy, and art. Digby argues that memory is not just a mental process, but also has a spiritual dimension that connects us to the divine. He draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient philosophy, Christian mysticism, and Renaissance art, to explore the role of memory in human experience. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of memory. The first part explores the nature of memory and its relationship to the soul. The second part looks at the role of memory in art and literature, particularly in the works of Shakespeare and Dante. The third part considers the practical application of memory techniques, such as mnemonics, in education and daily life. Throughout the book, Digby emphasizes the importance of cultivating a strong and disciplined memory as a means of achieving spiritual growth and understanding. The Temple of Memory is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a timeless subject, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of memory and its relationship to human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
