Dante as a Memory Device

While reading Yates I was struck by the concept of using Dante as a memory device. It's just something that you don't really think about, using the worlds that others have created in order to remember things, but now that I think about it, it seems so simple. Dante's heaven and hell have so many levels full of so many memorable things that the only trouble you would have using it as a memory device would be to decide from all the things what best serves your imediate purpose of memorization. The good thing is that there are so many pictures of it already out there, you wouldn't even really have to reconstruct the images in your mind. I actually want to see how effective that could be for our own assignment.
