Brunos sytem has a few similarities with the Dominic System and the person-action-object (PAO) system, where different images
can be combined to expand the image vocabulary:
In the first fixed ring the practitioner will assign a mythological or heroic figure to each letter. Bruno provides some
examples : A Lycaon; B Deucalion; C Apollo; D Argos (see De Umbris Idearum [PDF], pp. 107 ff). The letters of the second
ring correspond to an action or a scene associated with each figure. The examples provided are: AA Lycaon at a banquet;
BB Deucalion and pebbles; CC Apollo and Python; DD Argos and some cattle (ibid, p. 112). Thus rotating the first inner ring
operates permutations between the figures and their action. Further permutation occurs when the third wheel is set in
motion. It contains attributes or enseignes which can be easily passed from one figure to another. Bruno provides only four
examples and leaves the rest to the imagination of his reader. These are : AAA, Lycaon at a banquet with a chain; BBB,
Deucalion and pebbles with a headband; CCC, Apollo and Python with a baldric; DDD, Argos and some cattle with a hood.
This way the systems makes it possible to create combinations of letters representing words, acronyms or syllables to be
remembered by means of animated images mixing the attributes and accustomed actions of familiar mythological figures.
BAA: B Deucalion A at a banquet A with a chain
MAD: M Perseus A at a banquet D with a hood
CAD: C Apollo A at a banquet D with a hood
COD: C Apollo O and Proserpina D with a hood
Deucalion at a banquet with a chain. Perseus at a banquet with a hood. It isnt exactly a PAO system, but it has a familiar sound. I
hope I can eventually find a copy of De Umbris Idearum in English so I can read the entire description of Giordano Brunos
technique.

I dont suppose you archived any of the material from the Bruno site? It would seem that it has otherwise been lost to
the aether.

I just checked and it has been removed. I just emailed them to see if the URL changed.

Fascinating. I have loved Bruno since I first learned of his death at the hands of the Catholic church as a martyr for
heloicentrism. Its interesting how he took important stories of Ovid to supply a lot of the imagery. That work, itself, is
so full of images that, in the classical or renaissance eras that it must have been a wonderful source for creating
palaces.
Curiously, I just got into mnemnotechnics so that I might memorize The Metamorphoses better
