	Frances Yates Summary
		YATES, FRANCES AMELIA was born on November 29, 1899, in Southsea, Hampshire, and died in Surbiton, Surrey, on September 29, 1981.
		Yates was the fourth and youngest child of James Alfred Yates and Hannah Eliza Malpas.

		Yates, Frances A. Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition.
		Placing Bruno—both advanced philosopher and magician burned at the stake—in the Hermetic tradition, Yates's acclaimed study gives an overview not only of Renaissance humanism but of its interplay—and conflict—with magic and occult practices.

		Frances Yates was first recommended to me more than a decade ago and I'm sorry that I waited so long to read her.
		At the heart of what Yates calls Christian Cabala were two central ideas: that the name of Jesus is the Tetragrammaton, the "ineffable name" of God; and that there is a unity of truth behind the appearance of things accessible to those afflicted (or blessed) by "inspired melancholy".
		The question posited by Dame Frances Yates is : What was the underlying Philosophy of the Elizabethan age and she points unmistakably to the occult philosophy i.e.

		Richard Yates, one of the great unsung American writers, specialized in the anguish of ordinary people who are defeated by life.
		Yates, now a 7th-degree fl belt, has updated his classic book to include the addition of the 3rd-degree fl belt level form, kae-beck, and other developments in the world of taekwon do.
		Emphasizing the primary importance of Hermetism in Renaissance thought, Yates demonstrates that Bruno was at once a rational philospher and a magician - burned at the stake - with an unorthodox religious message.

	The New York Review of Books: BODIN'S DEMONS
		Professor Yates errs in her belief that Bodin, the legalist, the prosecutor of witches in the Demonomanie, is complementary to the upholder of the Law in the Colloquium.
		Frances Yates assumes that Roger Chauviré was correct in his negative assessment of Noack's Latin text (1857).
		However, in the true spirit of the Colloquium, Professor Yates should be allowed her "demonic" reading, and I shall maintain that universal harmony and toleration are the heart of the matter.

	Book Review: Occult Philosophy of the Elizabethan Age, The - Frances Amelia Yates
		Yates focuses on the formation of the Christian Cabala as it was adapted from Jewish circles by Pico della Mirandola shortly before the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492.
		Yates admits that she is not a Hebrew scholar and so draws her parallels from the works of Gershom Scholem.
		My main criticism with the book is that the first part is not as clearly explained as the second and the third is so brief that the topics she covers are little more than random thoughts (which, of course, she does justice to in other works).

	Essays on the Persian Lady Painting
		Sir Roy argues convincingly that the woman is Frances Walsingham Essex, wife of Robert Devereux, the doomed Earl of Essex.
		Frances was the daughter of the Secretary of State, and grew up in the corridors of power.
		Thus Yates discovered that this Persian Lady painting had so much in common with the other Ditchley Collection pieces, that the sitter in the fantastic dress had to be someone in Lee's social circle.

	The New York Review of Books: THE REAL GLOBE THEATER
		In its essentials, Frances Yates's article on the reconstruction of the stage of the second Globe [NYR, May 26] boils down to the gallant but unlikely suggestion that the rear wall shown in the engraving of Michael Fludd's "memory theater" is no less than a representation of the tiring-house wall at the Globe.
		First, Miss Yates puts her faith in Fludd's insistence that the "memory-theater" must be based on a real theater, and she assumes that he was therefore copying some particular place.
		Insofar as Miss Yates suggests a neo-classical inspiration for the design of the public theaters, and bases her argument on rather recondite literary sources, her article is a regression rather than an advance in the scholarship of the Elizabethan theater.

		Another significant and extensive group of materials is the correspondence between Yates and Melissa and Charles Levitzky.
		The Levitzky correspondence is very personal in nature, and Yates often enclosed drafts of his poetry in his letters to the couple.

	Rafal T. Prinke - Michael Sendivogius and Christian Rosenkreutz
		Dame Frances A. Yates in her absorbing book The Rosicrucian Enlightenment advanced the theory that Rosicrucianism should be seen "as a movement ultimately stemming from John Dee" [1].
		The work is described by Frances Yates as forming "a link between a philosophy influenced by Dee and the philosophy of the Rosicrucian manifestos"[11].
		As Frances Yates says: "The Dee-inspired Consideratio Brevis, and its prayer, seems absolutely assimilated to the Rosicrucian manifesto, as an integral part of it, as though explaining that the 'more secret philosophy' behind the Rosicrucian movement was the philosophy of John Dee, as expounded in his Monas hieroglyphica" [21].

	Notes on Poem: Pondering About Poetry After a Billy Collins Reading at Stanford

		Some of my favorite books by Yates are and Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (1964), The Art of Memory (1966), The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1971), The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age (1979).
		Yates' knowledge of the Renaissance runs deep because she is always ferreting out the primary sources.

	Amazon.com: The Art of Memory: Books: Francis A. Yates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In it, Frances A. Yates traces the art of memory from its treatment by Greek orators, through its Gothic transformations in the Middle Ages, to the occult forms it took in the Renaissance, and finally to its use in the seventeenth century.
		However, for me, it is Yates' illumination of the profound relationship between the scientific method and earlier attempts at mastering the universe by magical means, that stands out as a single, most important aspect of the book.
		Frances Yates also assumes that the reader know of various philosophical idiosycrasies of the known history of man.

	languagehat.com: MIND MACHINES.
		I'm reading Frances Yates's book The Art of Memory, in which she investigates the history of the classical art of memorization by imagining images in a building; she came to it by way of her earlier studies of Giordano Bruno, and her understanding of late medieval and Renaissance ways of thinking is remarkable.
		Now, Frances Yates was born in 1899; she grew up in a world of automobiles, telephones, and motion pictures, and was still a young woman when radio came along.

	BookkooB: The Art of Memory - Frances A. Yates
		Yates seems to propose that the advent of Newtonian physics may be indirectly connected to a more spiritualist approach to the world which is now neglected in the abstracting drive of many sciences.
		She also captures the scope and breadth of an art which traditionally formed part of the liberal studies of any educated westerner, be he Greek, Roman, or German.
		Yates leads the book towards a more occult vein when she studies Bruno and some of the medieval contributors to this practice.

		Yates warns against his high-handed editorial treatment of the main texts, but the testimonies, and most of the fragments, are given in more conservative forms; this too is (or was) available in paperback.
		Yates does not only prove that Bruno is not the pioneer of modern science he is often stated to be, but convincingly exposes the background against which his works have to be understood.
		To that purpose, she shows the impact of the Hermetic writings, an ancient source written in the second and third centuries A.D., but by some Christian Renaissance writers such as Ficino or Pico della Mirandola held to be of an authority greater and older than even Moses, on Renaissance thought.

		In the second part of this article, "The Garden of Memory," some of these potentials will be explored through the exposition of an introductory memory system based on the traditional principles of the Art.
		Yates, Frances A., The Art Of Memory (Chicago: U. Chicago Press, 1966) remains the standard English-language work on the tradition.
		As with any new skill, therefore, simple tasks should be tried and mastered before complex ones, and the more advanced levels of the Art mastered one stage at a time.

		This is Yates's masterpiece, a brilliant and lucid survey of a wide range of magical traditions in the Renaissance.
		Yates argues that magic lay at the heart of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century, and places the extraordinary misfit Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) at the center of that development.
		In later works, Yates often let her insight run wild, but this book rightly revolutionized thinking about magic and occultism in the Renaissance.
