Blanquerna

by Ramon Llull, Beato Raimundo Lulio

Raimundo Lulio recoge en "Blanquerna" sus experiencias de ermitaño y hace el más cumplido elogio de la soledad; describe la naturaleza con inefable hechizo; traza un plan completo para la reforma de la Iglesia, de la vida monástica y la sociedad; habla de estudios y nos arrebata con las ele-vaciones místicas a las que ascendió, cuyos recuerdos palpitan en la presente obra, la más característica de la inmensa producción luliana.

About the author

Ramon Llull (c. 1232 - c. 1315), T.O.S.F. (Anglicised Raymond Lully in Latin Raimundus or Raymundus Lullus or Lullius; in Castillan Raimundo Lulio, in Portuguese Raimundo Lulio) was a Majorcan writer and philosopher, logician and a Franciscan tertiary. He is credited with writing the first major work of Catalan literature. Recently surfaced manuscripts show him to have anticipated by several centuries prominent work on elections theory. He is also considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially given his influence on Gottfried Leibniz.

Within the Franciscan Order he is honored as a martyr. He was beatified in 1857 by Pope Pius IX and his feast day was assigned to 30 June and is celebrated by the Third Order of St. Francis.

Que sí, que ja serem bons cristians

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't think it's really a bad book, but I want to warn prospective readers that it's hard to read, so I give it three stars (not like Heidegger, where the ideas are hard, but just hard to pay attention to).

Ramón Llull escriu i explica tant bé tot, normal que sigui considerat un dels millors escriptors en català.
