Description from the seller
A very rare first edition, published in Palermo, of this important treatise on the art of memory and mnemonics. The author, Giovanni Brancaccio (1673-post 1753), was a Sicilian lawyer and physician with a particular interest in memory. In this work, he cites the mnemonic feats of historical figures and offers suggestions for memorizing the Holy Scriptures (curiously printed vertically).
Ars memoriae vindicata author d. Joanne Brancaccio ICto Panormitano. Accessit Artificium poeticum ad scripturas Divinas in promptu habendas..., Panormi, typis Joseph Gramignani, 1702.
PP.: (XLVIII), 225, (CXV). COMPLETE, with a figurative frontispiece.
This copy, with its pages, is in overall very good condition, with some pencil notes from the former owner. A tear, restored and without any loss of text, on the A4 page.
Contemporary binding in full parchment with manuscript title on the spine, very well preserved. White endpapers.
Seller's Story
