  Mnemonics - LoveToKnow 1911
Mnemonic devices were much cultivated by Greek sophists and philosophers, and are repeatedly referred to by Plato and Aristotle.
Except that the rules of mnemonics are referred to by Martianus Capella, nothing further is known regarding the practice of the art until the 13th century.
An interesting work (Memoranda mnemonics) was published by James Copner in 1893, containing a system based partly on the use of letters for figures and words for dates, as well as a large number of rhymes for remembering facts in biblical, Roman, Greek and English history.

In assembly language a mnemonic is a code, usually from 1 to 5 letters, that represents an opcode, a number.

 Aramaic Mnemonics in Codex Leningradensis
First of all, identification of the mnemonics with their associated biblical verses is sometimes complicated by the fact that part of an Aramaic mnemonic may refer to a section rather than a specific verse.
The Aramaic mnemonic is cited in Deut 8:7* [104r] and in Joel 1:20* [307v].
This is seen quite clearly in the contrast between the Aramaic of the mnemonics and the Aramaic of the Targumim of the verses cited.

A stream of prose commentaries explain the full meaning of these ancient texts, confirming that they were aphoristic in nature and deliberately conceived as summaries of a master's teachings, expressed in such a way as to stick in the memory of his pupils.
The absence of graphic symbols and numbers in the aphorisms and verses of the classic mathematical texts does not mean that symbolism is totally excluded, but that the symbolism employed is grammatical or rhetorical in nature.
The rules, aphorisms and the mnemonic verses of the basic texts are not the outcome of a demonstration but rather guidelines for a geometric construction to be carried out by the reader or the commentator.

Though the four-syllable line is common in t'ai chi mnemonics as well, the pattern is not nearly as regular as in the pa kua verses.
Though pa kua's mnemonics allude to some of the same figures, their arrangement is not in little stories and serves instead as a nonsense verse that serves to conceal its meaning from the uninitiated.

This correspondence lays before us two ideals of life, it expresses in clear colours the views which at that time were in conflict with each other, and divided society.
These are chiefly mnemonic verse: "Caesares", on the Roman emperors; consular annals; "Ordo nobilium urbium", eulogies on cities, beginning with Rome and ending with Bordeaux (after 388); "Eclogae", a collection of mnemonic verses, treating of trees, the months, the calendar, weights, etc.; "Periochae" (Contents), prose headings for the Iliad and the Odyssey.
It is doubtful whether Ausonius wrote these, but they were at least the work of a member of the circle to which he belonged, short poems on the labours of Hercules; on the Muses; on ethical subjects (translations of Greek originals, inspired by Pythagorean philosophy).

The mnemonic verses serve to indicate how the valid moods of the later figures may be "reduced" to those of Figure 1 -- that is, how we may derive their conclusions from their premises without using any syllogistic reasoning of other than the first-figure type.
Artistotle distinguished them, in the first figure, by their comparative comprehensiveness and mentioned what we now call the fourth-figure moods as ood cases in which first-figure premises will yield a conclusion wherein the "minor" term is predicated of the "major".
Earlier versions of the mnemonic lines accordingly list the fourth-figure moods with the first-figure ones and (since the premises are thought of as being in the first figure order) give them slightly different names (Baralipton, Celantes, Dabitis, Fapesmo, Frisesomorum).
