The authors maintain that Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because
he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the
norm and because he organized the production and dissemination of
his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. Ramon Llull
(1232-1316), mystic, missionary, philosopher and author of
narrative and poetry, wrote both in Latin and in the vernacular
claiming he had been given a new science to unveil the Truth. This
book shows why his Latin andvernacular books cannot be read as if
they had been written in isolation from one another. Llull was an
atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge
that differed from the norm and because he organized theproduction
and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional
fashion. At a time when learned texts and university culture were
conveyed for the most part using the vehicle of Latin, he wrote a
substantial proportion of his theological and scientific works in
his maternal Catalan while, at the same time, he was deeply
involved in the circulation of such works in other Romance
languages. These circumstances do not preclude the fact that a
considerable number of the titles comprising his extensive output
of more than 260 works were written directly in Latin, or that he
had various books which were originally conceived in Catalan
subsequently translated or adapted intoLatin. Lola Badia is a
professor in the Catalan Philology Departament at the University of
Barcelona. Joan Santanach is Lecturer of Catalan Philology at the
University of Barcelona. Albert Soler (1963) is Lecturer of Catalan
Philology at the University of Barcelona.
