EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the cover of the Latin edition of "Libre d'Amic e d'Amat" (Song of the Friend and the Beloved), printed by Jean Petit in Paris in 1505. The text was originally inserted into "Llibre d'Evast e d'Aloma e de Blanquerna" a renowned work written by Ramon Llull, a philosopher and theologian, between 1283 - 1286. The intricately engraved cover features various symbolic elements that reflect the medieval literature's themes and influences. A majestic lion, representing courage and strength, stands alongside a mystical tree while holding a shield adorned with religious inscriptions. These symbols allude to Llull's contemplative life as well as his mission to convert infidels through preaching. The book itself is associated with Catalonia's rich literary heritage, specifically within Christian circles during the Middle Ages. It explores metaphysical concepts influenced by neoplatonism and mysticism, making it an important piece of Catalan literature. Preserved within the Library of the University, this rare artifact provides valuable insights into Llull's philosophical ideas and poetic prowess. Its presence also highlights Barcelona's significance as a center for intellectual pursuits during this period. Through Santiago Ortega's skillful photography, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this historic book cover but also its cultural significance within Spain's Crown of Aragon region.
