An unforgettable introduction to the medieval world and its culture
for the modern reader. Published in association with Editorial
Barcino. Ramon Llull wrote the Doctrina pueril between 1274 and
1276 to provide minimum knowledge to those people---children, but
also adults---who did not have the opportunity to acquire a
sufficient doctrinal and intellectual education. In the late
thirteenth century this meant stressing the basics of Christian
doctrine and also accessing some aspects of general culture. The
most important part of the Doctrina is dedicated to the catechism
(articlesof faith, commandments, sacraments, vices and virtues, and
so on.). Especially interesting, however, are the more general
sections, encyclopedic in nature, on issues such as the three
monotheistic religions of the Mediterranean,the lessons that could
be studied in the medieval universities, and other medical and
scientific subjects. Published in association with Editorial
Barcino. Ramon Llull (1232-1316) was a mystic, missionary,
philosopher, and author of narrative and poetry. He is credited
with writing the first major work of Catalan literature. John
Dagenais is a senior professor of Medieval literature and
specialist in Hispano-Latin manuscript culture at the University of
California, Los Angeles.
