Brepols, Publication Year:2021 -- SUMMARY Aristotle s De memoria et reminiscentia ( On Memory and Recollection ) is the oldest surviving systematic study of the nature of human memory. Forming part of Aristotle s other minor writings on psychology that were intended as a supplement to his De anima ( On the Soul ) and known under the collective title Parva naturalia, Aristotle s De memoria et reminiscentia gave rise to a vast number of commentaries in the Middle Ages.
