How would you say that Denethor is a "mental ringbearer?"

I recall that in the books it was not remembered in Gondor what "Isildur's Bane" was, and I don't seem to remember Denethor finding out about the Ring. I could, of course, be forgetting something major, and if I am, someone please correct me!

It is true, though, that Denethor felt the effects of the Ring through the anguish he experienced at Boromir's death.
