1 # commonplace_book 2 3 The Commonplace Book is not so much "commonplace" as it is a "common place" for gathering ideas. 4 From loci communes of antiquity (maybe related to the memory palace?), 5 to the Medieval florilegium, or "gathering of flowers," 6 which were scrapbooks of religious themes, 7 and on around to Ryan Holiday's shoebox of 3x5 notecards, 8 it is essentially a homemade thought bank from which to withdraw and deviously employ someone else's hard-earned insights. 9 Sun 17 Nov 2019 10:23:05 AM CST
