Abstract

This study explores the manuscript transmission of three anonymous 15 th century treatises, with the incipit “Memoria fecunda”, “Nota hanc figuram” and “Alphabetum Trinitatis”, and their textual relationship to each other. Arguably, both the Nota hanc figuram and the Alphabetum Trinitatis are derived from an idea expounded in the art of memory called Memoria fecunda . The interrelation of these texts clearly shows the close connections between the art of memory and the meditative literature in the 15 th century
