The art of memory encompasses techniques for memorization that have been passed down from classical culture, particularly within the context of rhetorical training. This Focus aims to broaden current historiographical perspectives by examining the uses of mnemonics by individuals engaged in natural-philosophical research, including cases of cross-fertilization between the sciences and the studia humanitatis.

Galilæana seeks proposals for themed issues led by a guest editor (or guest editors). Any theme that falls within the broad field of Renaissance and early modern science, including the history of medicine and the history of technology, is acceptable.
