This book shows why his Latin andvernacular books cannot be read as if they had been written in isolation from one another. Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized theproduction and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. At a time when learned texts and university culture were conveyed for the most part using the vehicle of Latin, he wrote a substantial proportion of his theological and scientific works in his maternal Catalan while, at the same time, he was deeply involved in the circulation of such works in other Romance languages. These circumstances do not preclude the fact that a considerable number of the titles comprising his extensive output of more than 260 works were written directly in Latin, or that he had various books which were originally conceived in Catalan subsequently translated or adapted intoLatin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Lola Badia is a professor in the Catalan Philology Departament at the University of Barcelona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Joan Santanach is Lecturer of Catalan Philology at the University of Barcelona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Albert Soler (1963) is Lecturer of Catalan Philology at the University of Barcelona.","brand":"Lola Badia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280482611451,"sku":"9781855663015","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781855663015.jpg?v=1772487813","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ramon-llull-as-a-vernacular-writer-9781855663015","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
