Bibliographical Sketch throughout the Lullian Studies (2008-2018)

Abstract

It is not easy to synthesize, in a brief space, the vast production of Lullian studies focused on the philosophical aspects of the Majorcan polygraph. However, there are some preeminent topics about Llull’s thought which specialists have developed. This intellectual production owes its consolidation, in recent years, to the critical edition of Lullian works in Latin and Catalan, as well as the translation in other modern languages. Therefore, it has increased the concern about Lullian Work and the research on its intellectual context. It will be comment: the emergence of Companions about Ramon Llull; the bibliography on interreligious dialogue and the Lullian project of universal conversion in which medieval academic communities are included; the studies on medieval psychology of knowledge; the Lullian dispute against the Latin “Averroism”; and, the labeling of Ramon Llull as a “layman”. Lastly, the contribution to these studies do, from the other side of the Atlantic, will be briefly indicated. To conclude, it will be underlining some works that offer a broader perspective about the consequences of comparative study between Lullian work and its medieval context.
