Review(s)
"En síntesis, esta obra constituye un referente necesario para la investigación sobre la estadía parisina de llull en 1299. la precisión filológica de Compagno y la claridad del aparato crítico hacen de este volumen una herramienta esencial para comprender el Ars en su madurez, la relación entre fe y razón y la historia intelectual de finales del siglo Xiii. la edición proporciona acceso fiable a textos que hasta ahora habían permanecido dispersos, al tiempo que permite valorar plenamente la originalidad y coherencia de un proyecto intelectual cuya influencia se proyecta más allá de su tiempo." (Rafael Ramis Barceló, in Archivum Franciscanum Historicum, 2026, p. 401)
BIO
Carla Compagno, after earning her doctorate in medieval Latin philology from the University of Freiburg, prepared the Latin edition of Ramon Llull’s op. 80-85 between 2011 and 2016. This work was carried out within the framework of a project approved and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (project number WA 822/6-1), under the direction of the late and much lamented Prof. Dr. Peter Walter.
Summary
This volume brings together the critical editions of the works composed by Ramon Llull in Paris in 1299. During this period, Llull engaged more closely with the university milieu and had the opportunity to devote particular attention to Euclidean geometry. He authored two geometric treatises: De quadratura et triangulatura circuli sive De principiis theologiae (op. 82) and Liber de geometria nova et compendiosa (op. 84). These texts are linked to the artistic work Brevis practica Tabulae generalis seu Ars compendiosa (op. 80), also written in the same year. This latter work builds upon the Tabula generalis (op. 53) and represents a version of the Ars that would serve as a reference for all subsequent works leading up to the Ars generalis ultima (op. 128).
In 1299, Llull also composed the Ars electionis (op. 83), preserved in the manuscript Bernkastel-Kues, St. Nikolaus-Hospital, ms. 83, formerly belonging to Nicholas of Cusa, and the Liber super quaestiones Magistri Thomae Attrebatensis (op. 85), which addresses questions of natural philosophy alongside theological concerns. Finally, the volume includes the edition of the Quaestio de congruo adducto ad necessariam rationem (op. 81). Although apocryphal, this work has been edited as evidence of the reception and application of Llull’s argumentative style within the theological discourse of his time.
