Doctor Illuminatus | Free Book
For this new anthology, Anthony Bonner has chosen central texts from
his acclaimed two-volume compilation
Selected Works of Ramon Llull (Princeton, 1985). Available
for the first time in an affordable format, these works serve as an
introduction to the life and writings of the Catalan (properly,
Majorcan) philosopher, mystic, and theologian who lived from 1232 to
1316. Founder of a school of Arabic and other languages, Llull was
also a poet and novelist and one of the creators of literary
Catalan.
This volume contains three prefaces on Llull's life, thought, and
reputation. Of Llull's works, it offers
Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men, his seminal
Christian apology; the Ars brevis, a summary of his
philosophical system; The Book of the Lover and the Beloved,
a celebration of mystical love in the courtly tradition; and his
wittily scathing Book of the Beasts.
