The distinction between memory as a natural faculty and memory as a form of art in Dante entails a twofold implication. Memory, on the one hand, is a human faculty whose primary source is the repository of wisdom-that is to say, of knowledge and learning or acquainting and familiarizing result with the classical disciplines of philosophy, theology, rhetoric, and history. A natural memory is also recognized as a process of recordatio (recollection) and cogitatio (thought process), which consists respectively of reminiscence and thought processing. In broader and more common contexts, memory refers to both storage and reminiscence, and it is largely attached to earthly features and bodily characterizations. The art of memory in Dante, on the other hand, consists of a shapeless representation of memory. Its gradual development begins with metaphysical memory through ontological truths like the correlation of soul, mind, and memory. Unlike the lower realities of Inferno and Purgatorio, the art of memory allows Dante the pilgrim to absorb the supernatural, higher state of paradisiac forces like the bliss of the Empyrean in Paradiso.Furthermore, memory has always been considered an art form from antiquity until today, and because natural memory fails the pilgrim in Paradiso XXXIII, this study aims at examining a way to restore the pilgrim's awareness after the failure of biological memory. One way to do so is by first reconnecting the present state of being to a network of otherworldly experiences. Second, by reproducing a course of study around the inherently regenerative power that occurs with the art of memory in Dante's final verses from the last canto of Paradiso. This process begins with a metaphysical correlation between finite and non-finite beings, between the states of humanly perceptible experience and the pilgrim's imagination. (Chapter Two). This study subsequently aims at the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, from which the art form of memory shifts from a purely metaphysical standpoint (first evolution of the art of memory in Dante) to a largely theological development (second evolution of the art of memory in Dante). Since the art of memory in Dante is subject to a Christianized metaphysics (Chapter Three), this theologizing process allows Dante to expand his divine knowledge while evolving with the art of memory-that is, towards a heavenly concept of the ars memorativa in Dante.This last aspect sustains Dante's remaking of his final image of salvation (Chapter Four) by means of expectatio, the transmuted desire (disio), and the will (velle). When Dante is finally advancing towards the ultimate realm of the Empyrean where he encounters the otherworldly ethereal blissfulness from angels and various saints' figures (Saint Bernard, etc.), the art of memory in Dante remains the active agency that brings Dante into reconciliation with his own Christian values. This ultimately shows how the paramount nature of the ars memorativa can never perish in the face of unearthly experiences, which ultimately indicates that this art form is embodied in the heavenly principles of Dante's poetry.
