Ramon Llull

Posted on 29/03/201601/02/2017 By Oriol Catalán

Beyond his undeniable importance as a writer and philosopher, Ramon Llull (c. 1232-1315) devoted some of his works (mainly in the last years of his live) to preaching.

According to Llull’s point of view, preaching was part of his Logic System, so his sermons are mainly based in logic and rational arguments rather than auctoritates and exempla. Even the Bible is hardly quoted in Ramon Llull’s sermons, which usually have no thema.

His main works referring to preacing and sermons are:

  • Liber de praedicatione (Latin). Montpellier, 1304. ROL IV.
  • Liber de praedicatione contra Iudaeos (Latin), Barcelona, 1305.
  • Sermones contra Averroes (Latin), 1311.
  • Llibre de virtuts e de pecats (=Art major de predicació) (Catalan sermons, later translated into Latin as Ara maior praedications). Catalan version at NEORL, Llibre de virtuts e de pecats, vol. I. 2nd ed., 2008.
    • There is only one extant manuscript of the catalan text (Barcelona, BC, 2021).
  • Summa Sermonum: Seven books of sermons. Appear in same manuscript than
  • Art abreujada de predicació, Mallorca, 1313. 136 sermns. ROL, vol. XVII.

Estoy pensando en una nueva situación de aprendizaje, a ver qué os parece: cómo diseñar trenes que quepan por los túneles por los que van a pasar.
