Abstract
Guglielmo Grataroli (1516–1568), s’inspirant des philosophes grecs de l’Antiquité, propose en 1553 en latin et en 1555 en français, un livre de physiologie de la mémoire et des moyens pour l’entretenir et la perfectionner. Il conçoit, dans les termes de son temps, ce que nous reconnaissons en mémoire sémantique et en mémoire épisodique mais il ignore la mémoire procédurale. Grataroli énumère les pathologies altérant la mémoire, « léthargie, épilepsie, apoplexie, paralysie ». Il distingue l’amnésie antérograde de l’amnésie rétrograde. Les règles d’hygiène de vie qu’il édicte, afin de conserver une bonne mémoire et de la perfectionner, restent à l’identique d’actualité au XXIe siècle. Lire Grataroli montre que quelques grands anciens du XVIe siècle usaient déjà des mêmes concepts que nous pour appréhender la mémorisation et la réminiscence.
Guglielmo Grataroli (1516–1568), inspired by the Greek philosophers of antiquity, published a book in Latin in 1553 and in French in 1555 on the physiology of memory and the means to maintain and perfect it. In the terms of his time, he understood what we recognize as semantic and episodic memory, but ignored procedural memory. Grataroli lists the pathologies that impair memory: “lethargy, epilepsy, apoplexy, paralysis”. He distinguishes between anterograde and retrograde amnesia. The healthy lifestyle rules he lays down for maintaining and improving memory were just as relevant today as they were in the 21st century. Reading Grataroli shows that some of the great ancients of the 16th century were already using the same concepts as we do to understand memorization and reminiscence.
