9. Bruno: "Did he intend that there would be formed in the memory using these ever-changing combinations of astral images some kind of alchemy of the imagination, a philosopher's stone in the psyche through which every possible arrangement and combination of objects in the lower world- plants, animals, stones- would be perceived and remembered from above, as it were, all his discoveries, thoughts, philosophies, productions?

"Such a memory would be the memroy of a divine man, of a Magus with divine powers through his imagination harnessed to the workings of the cosmic powers. And such an attempt would rest on the hermetic assumption that man's 'mens' is divine, related in its origin to the star-governors of th e world, able both to reflect and to control the universe." P.224 Yates.

10. What does alethiometer mean? -Truth Measurer, Unforgetting.

I believe on page 176 of Yates, in his explanation of Lull's Art of memory he finds the idea for this alethiometer.

"Think of the great mediaeval encyclopaedic schemes, with all knowledge arranged in static parts, made yet more static in the classical art by the memory buildings stocked with the images. And then think of Lullism, with its algebraic notations, breaking up the static schemata into nex combinations on its revolving wheels."

17. Lullism And Cabalism.

"Lull does not combine Hevrew letters in his Art, but he combines B to K ( or more leters in Arts based on more Divine Dignities that those used in the nine form). SInce these letters stand for the divine attributes, or Names of God, he is therefore, it seems to me ((YATES)), adapting a Cabalist practice to Gentile uses. This would be, of course, a part of his appeal to the Jews to accept Trinitarian Christianity through the use of one of their own sacred methods." P.188 Yates.
