Medieval Catalan Literature: A Golden Age
Ramon Llull
Ramon Llull, born in Mallorca between 1232 and 1235, was the first major author to write in Catalan. His scientific and philosophical work, Ars Magna, comprised all his ideas for teaching unbelievers. Tree of Science, an encyclopedia, structured human knowledge under the symbolism of trees. Composed of 16 volumes, representing 16 trees, each tree explored a different theme, divided into seven parts: roots, trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, and fruit.
Llull’s didactic work includes Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men, where a Gentile, saddened by the prospect of death, seeks advice from three wise men: a Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim. Each explains their religion, allowing the Gentile to choose.
Other works include the chivalric manual Book of the Order of Chivalry, and the contemplative Art of Contemplation, with 366 chapters, one for each day, containing 366 verses.
Felix or The Book of Marvels follows Felix’s journey around the world in search of marvels. The book is divided into ten parts, covering angels, heaven, plants, elements, metals, animals, man, earth, and hell.
Blanquerna, Llull’s novel, tells the story of Blanquerna’s life, from marriage and fatherhood to becoming a hermit and eventually Pope.
