Rosicrucianism and Reform in the Oblivion's Art of Adam Brux

Abstract

Adam Brux (1576c - after 1632), German physician, philosopher and alchemist, was the so-called “inventor of obliviousness” for his text Simonides redivivus... (1610), which, in addition to the Art of memory, contains the Art of the obliviousness. Author almost entirely unknown, though the analysis of his texts it is possible to highlight the connection between the mystifying streams of Lutheran theology (like that of the Rosicrucians) and the theme of memory.
