A Mosaic Palace

"A Mosaic Palace. Freemasonry and the Art of Memory" by Martin Faulks Paperback, 44 pages. "The Warden of the Lodge. . . shall take trial of the art of memory and science thereof of every fellow craft and every apprentice according to their vocation and in case that they have lost any point thereof. . . pay the penalty as follows for their slothfulness. . ." Second Schaw Statutes of 1599. In recent years notable Masonic historians such as Fabio Venzi and Robert Cooper have touched upon the underlying meaning of this phrase, what this paper aims to do is explore the various arts of memory that existed around this time and to build upon this research.
