Studies of Vedic mnemonics

[Steve Farmer]

Answering a question yesterday from George Thompson about
premodern works in the West on mnemonics, I incorrectly wrote:

The work I had in mind was the _Ad Herennium_, not the
_Hortensius._ My memory slip was made without the benefit of
formal mnemonics.
