Latin Works of Raimundus Lullus (LWRL)

Although Llull originally wrote much of his work in Catalan, most of it has been handed down in contemporary translations - sometimes encouraged by Llull himself. The Raimundi Lulli Opera latina (ROL) edition relies primarily on the Latin tradition, which exists in handwritten and early printed forms; however, it also takes into account versions in other languages (Catalan, Old French, Old Spanish, and so on). Because the historic Editio Moguntina of Llull's works (Mainz, 1721-1742) focused primarily on the extensive early works in their Latin versions, this edition begins with the later works (which are less extensive and, for the most part, unedited), thereby providing a first edition. This edition will also include works that have already appeared in the Editio Moguntina; in these cases, it will provide a first critical edition. Since 1975 the ROL volumes appear in the Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis collection, a separate set of 5 volumes ('Latin Works of Raimundus Lullus') were published at Palma de Mallorca, 1959-1967.
