Paper Back. Condition: New. While The Book of Memory proceeds from exterior objects to interior realities, The Craft of Thought, in complementary fashion, examines the interior practices of mental prayer and its exterior flowering in various types of literature, art, and architecture. The inner ''crafts'' of the great Fathers and saints brought forth abundant exterior memorials of epochal beauty. Seller Inventory # 8326

Paperback. Condition: New. The Craft of Thought, first published in 1998, is a companion to Mary Carruthers' earlier study of memory in medieval culture, The Book of Memory. This more recent volume examines medieval monastic meditation as a discipline for making thoughts, and discusses its influence on literature, art, and architecture. In a process akin to today's 'creative' thinking, or 'cognition', this discipline recognises the essential roles of imagination and emotion in meditation. Deriving examples from a variety of late antique and medieval sources, with excursions into modern architectural memorials, this study emphasises meditation as an act of literary composition or invention, the techniques of which notably involved both words and making mental 'pictures' for thinking and composing.
