> Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas.> Commonplaces are used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts.

Reminds me a bit of a [[vademecum]]; and, of course, also of our current day wikis, personal knowledge graphs and [[digital gardens]].https://t.co/rqqz0HdoL3
The commonplace book is definitely the precursor to Vannevar Bush’s Memex and the idea of a personal wiki/digital garden. See examples at: https://indieweb.org/commonplace_book. Do add yours as an example there.
