Abstract
Abstract The contribution deals with mnemonic teaching at the University of Erfurt, a practice which emerged as part of the early humanist approach to rhetoric. Thus, the ‘Memoriaʼ, too, found its way into the lecture schedule. The focus is on Jacobus Publicius, who produced a memory doctrine and taught in Erfurt temporarily. The outlines of his teaching appear in a studentʼs transcript, giving first-hand information and providing a valuable insight into the mnemonic teaching practice, which is otherwise poorly accessible to researchers.
