| Sumario: | In late medieval Scholastic thought, the sensory experience from the Aristotelian tradition is essential for the knowledge of reality. In the case of the arts of memory, such as Romberch’s Congestorium (Venice, 1520), theories of perception are applied to the mental formation of places and images, key elements of memory systems «per locos et imagines». Through an example taken from the Congestorium, in which the author acknowledges his error in the process of imagining places, one can appreciate how theories of perception are applied to mental processes. Thus, after a detailed description of the rules for the formation of mental places, Romberch defends the importance of experimentation and one’s own (sensory) expe- rience to generate effective artificial memory systems. |
