A Companion to Ramon Llull and Lullism offers a comprehensive survey of the work of the Majorcan lay theologian and philosopher Ramon Llull (1232-1316) and of its influence in late medieval, Renaissance, and early modern Europe, as well as in the Spanish colonies of the New World. Llull’s unique system of philosophy and theology, the “Great Universal Art,” was widely studied and admired from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. His evangelizing ideals and methods inspired centuries of Christian missionaries. His many writings in Catalan, his native vernacular, remain major monuments in the literary history of Catalonia.

“The editors and contributors of this volume have amply succeeded in providing the tools necessary for nonspecialists to delve into Llull's works, and for those already acquainted with the Illuminated Doctor to delve a little deeper. In other words, A Companion to Ramon Llull and Lullism deserves a prominent place in any Lullist's library.”
