EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ramon Llull (1235-1316): A Visionary Writer and Philosopher of the Middle Ages" This colored engraving depicts Ramon Llull (1235-1316), a remarkable figure from the medieval period, hailing from the Balearic Islands of Spain, specifically Majorca. Born into a noble family, Llull dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge, becoming a Franciscan Tertiary and a prolific writer and philosopher. The image portrays Llull in contemplative mode, surrounded by symbols of his life's work. He is shown with a beard and wears the Franciscan habit, his halo signifying his saintly status. In his hands, he holds an open book, symbolizing his literary contributions. Above his head, an aureole, or aura, emanates, emphasizing his spiritual connection. At the center of the engraving, a crucifixion scene unfolds, with Christ crucified on the cross. This visual representation of the Christian faith was a significant influence on Llull's philosophy, which he referred to as "Ars Generalis," or the "Universal Art." He believed that this art could be used to convert non-Christians to the faith. The inscription at the bottom of the print reads "INRI," an acronym derived from the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum," meaning "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This further emphasizes the religious undertones of Llull's life and work. This engraving, created in 1739, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ramon Llull, who continues to be celebrated as a major figure in Catalan and Spanish literature and philosophy. His works, which include treatises on logic, theology, and the arts, have influenced scholars and thinkers throughout history. Through this image, we are reminded of the profound impact that one person's ideas and beliefs can have on the world.
