EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image brings to life the pages of Blanquerna, a novel penned by the remarkable Mallorcan writer and philosopher, Ramon Llull, around 1293. The novel, set in the 13th century, follows the eponymous hero, a Catalan logician, majorcan mathematical genius, and spiritual seeker, as he embarks on a journey through Europe in search of wisdom and enlightenment. Born in Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, Llull was a man of many talents. He was not only a prolific writer but also a mystic and a poet. His works, which were compiled during the Middle Ages, reflect the intellectual and spiritual climate of the time, making him a significant figure in European literature and philosophy. Blanquerna is a poetic and compelling narrative that weaves together elements of logic, mathematics, and mysticism. The novel's protagonist encounters various challenges and adventures, meeting scholars, sages, and rulers along the way. Through these encounters, Blanquerna learns valuable lessons and deepens his understanding of the world and the divine. This print, produced in Valencia in 1521, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Catalonia and the enduring legacy of Ramon Llull. It serves as a reminder of the power of the written word to transport us to other times and places, and to inspire us with the wisdom and insights of the past.
