[INDOLOGY] mnemotechnics and visualisation in Indian traditional recitation techniques

[Jan E.M. Houben]

Dear Viktoria,
For your theme Hartmut Scharfe's Education in Ancient India (Leiden, 2002)
is a must.
See e.g. his comparative remarks (p 242) on "mnemonics" of the Greeks and
Romans and the memorization technique of the Vedic people.
