Renaissance techniques of memorization utilize the body, intentionally and precisely, to enhance memorization. The analysis of three Italian memory manuals from the late 1500 highlights an impressive expertise of the unique possibilities offered by an embodied acquisition of knowledge.

This interdisciplinary reflection contributes to the delineation of a pre-Cartesian conception of human cognition.
