Who was the &#8220;<strong>bearded philosopher<\/strong>&#8221; Ramon Llull, and why was a manuscript dedicated to his life and thought? We did some research, and here&#8217;s what we found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in Palma, <strong>Kingdom of Majorca<\/strong>, around 1232, Ramon Llull lived his early years as a <strong>troubadour<\/strong>, and even wrote a manual of chivalry, while learning <strong>Arabic<\/strong> thanks to the large Muslim population in Majorca. At around 30, a <strong>mystic vision<\/strong> of Christ on the cross urged him to give up courtly life and focus on <strong>missionary work<\/strong>. His knowledge of Arabic helped him in his numerous trips to <strong>North Africa<\/strong>, where he attempted to <strong>convert Muslims to Christianity<\/strong>. But this is not why he went down in history!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-hl aligncenter\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>By publishing Llull&#8217;s philosophical teachings, Thomas Le My\u00e9sier sought to <strong>harmonize faith and knowledge<\/strong><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While his efforts with the Moorish population didn&#8217;t seem to work \u2013 legend says he was <strong>stoned to death<\/strong> in what is modern-day Algeria \u2013 the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/facsimiles\/ramon-llull-tree-philosophy-love-facsimile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">complex logical methods<\/a><\/strong> he used to prove the superiority of <strong>Christian dogmas<\/strong> had an impact on later philosophers, not least on <strong>Leibniz<\/strong>. What he strove to do was reduce all existing knowledge to <strong>first principles<\/strong> and organize them in <strong>mathematical diagrams<\/strong> (the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ars magna (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/facsimiles\/ars-magna-facsimile\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Ars magna<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he spoke \u2013 and even taught \u2013 Arabic fluently, his religious enemies on the other end of the Mediterranean didn&#8217;t seem to take him seriously. The <strong>University of Paris<\/strong>, however, accepted him as a <strong>professor<\/strong> between 1310 and 1311 even without a teaching degree, and here&#8217;s where he met <strong>Thomas Le My\u00e9sier<\/strong>, the pupil who would become so passionate about his philosophy that he devoted <strong>an entire manuscript<\/strong> to it: the <strong>Breviculum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05-750x470.jpg\" alt=\"According to legend, Ramon Llull was stoned to death by Muslims in what is modern-day Algeria\" class=\"wp-image-7766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05-750x470.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Le My\u00e9sier<\/strong>became convinced that the <strong>royal French court<\/strong> could not do without Llull&#8217;s philosophy, and after his death, he had the <strong>Breviculum<\/strong> compiled, together with an explanation of his reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Firstly, to show the origin, in other words, from whom and how this art, and the other <strong>arts and writings by Raimundo<\/strong>, emerged. Secondly, to <strong>encourage good deeds<\/strong>, in the knowledge that doing to often stimulated the spirit through the <strong>sense of vision<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The manuscript&#8217;s title, &#8220;<strong>Breviculum<\/strong>&#8220;, points to a principle Le My\u00e9sier valued as much as reason itself: <strong>brevity<\/strong>, because, in his own words, &#8220;modern men like brevity above all things&#8221; (<em>moderni gaudent brevitate considerabilium<\/em>). This is why the entangled life of Ramon Llull takes up <strong>only seven pages<\/strong> of the 45-folio volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"549\" height=\"1073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-07.jpg\" alt=\"The Breviculum's dialogues resemble modern speech bubbles\" class=\"wp-image-7798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-07.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-07-300x586.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Could this also be why the smooth and elegant <strong>Littera Parisiensis<\/strong> script extends to the pictures themselves, both as <strong>conceptual notes <\/strong>and as <strong>speech bubbles<\/strong>? We cannot know the intended reason, but one thing is sure: the illustrations, with their defined colors and crisp black lines, remind modern viewers of a &#8220;bande dessin\u00e9e&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resemblance to <strong>comic books<\/strong> isn&#8217;t the only modern thing about the Breviculum: its author <strong>Le My\u00e9sier<\/strong> focused on Ramon Llull&#8217;s experiences as the events in the life of a contemporary person rather than as hagiographical scenes. Before 1300, <strong>biographical series of a secular nature<\/strong> were completely unknown. What was also unprecedented is the <strong>painting style<\/strong>, which does not compare to any other illuminated manuscript in contemporary France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An allegorical miniature on folios 6v\/7r shows <strong>Aristotle<\/strong> and <strong>Averroes<\/strong> mounted on horseback, each pulling a chariot loaded with troops and headed toward the &#8220;<strong>tower of lies<\/strong>&#8221; to liberate <strong>Truth<\/strong>, held prisoner by the <strong>vices<\/strong> (represented by the Saracens). The first chariot has fifteen knights, representing the basic concepts of Aristotelean logic: five <strong>predicables<\/strong> and ten <strong>categories<\/strong>. In <strong>Averroes<\/strong>&#8216; chart ride a <strong>cardinal<\/strong> and other prelates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03-750x410.jpg\" alt=\"Aristotles and Averroe leading allegorical chariots containing the principles of their philosophy.\" class=\"wp-image-7768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03-750x410.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/codex-st-peter-perg-92-facsimile-edition-03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The troops led by <strong>Llull<\/strong> are divided into two groups, portraying the axiomatic foundation of his art (<strong>absolute and relative principles<\/strong>). Before the chariot, <strong>three heralds <\/strong>with trumpets announce and proclaim God in the form of Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Le My\u00e9sier<\/strong>&#8216;s support for Llullian philosophy went beyond a pupil&#8217;s admiration for his professor \u2013 he believed that &#8220;Raimundo&#8221;, with his <em>Ars magna<\/em>, could help solve the <strong>dilemma<\/strong> that gripped European universities around the year 1300: the <strong>relationship between theology and philosophy<\/strong>, a conflict ignited by the new translations of <strong>Aristotle&#8217;s works.<\/strong> By publishing Llull&#8217;s diagrams, Le My\u00e9sier sought to prove that a system in which <strong>Christian faith <\/strong>and <strong>scientific knowledge <\/strong>mutually supported one another in the quest for truth was possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>A few months ago, we stumbled upon an <strong>early printed book<\/strong> that
