KEY: 'Mnemophora' (memory-bearer), 'mnemorigis' — reader has coined Greek-derived memory terms to describe the HP's mnemonic architecture. 'Exoterigo' may be from Greek exoterikos (external/popular). This is sophisticated philosophical vocabulary
bottom · Latin/Italian/Greek · LOW

'Amphictione' — reference to the Amphictyonic League (Greek religious alliance). A deep classical allusion
Scholarly Significance
Page 84. The coined term 'Mnemophora' (memory-bearer) is remarkable — a reader has created a Greek neologism in the style of Colonna himself to describe the HP's architecture as a memory system. This is the most sophisticated linguistic response found in the annotations. 'Exoterigo' and 'Amphictione' show deep Greek learning. This reader is not merely glossing the text but engaging with it on its own philological terms.
Cross-references: Photo 81 (p.68, 'Ars' and 'memorie'), Photo 82 (p.69, nymph catalog)
Note (coined_term): 'Mnemophora' appears to be a reader-coined neologism. Not documented by Russell. Significant for understanding the sophistication of the readership.

the process of giving birth, in which the infant is ‘brought to light’.50 Based on this
equivalency, Jupiter would draw Poliphilo out of the forest like a baby from the womb.51
Though this note has been previously observed by Stichel, it can now be contextualized
within this thesis’ wider argument for the HP as an unrestricted space for the self-cultivation
of ingegno.
