Breviculum ex Artibus Raimundi Lulli Electum,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a 14th-century miniature painting from the Karlsruhe University Library in Germany, showcases a significant work by the influential philosopher and writer Ramon Llull (Raimundus Lullus). This miniature is a reduced version of Thomas Le Myesier's collection of Lull's works, known as the "Breviculum." The depicted scene represents "Las nueve preguntas de la Filosofía" or "The Nine Questions on Philosophy." Ramon Llull (c. 1232-1316) was a Majorcan philosopher, theologian, and writer, renowned for his extensive contributions to various fields, including logic, mathematics, and theology. His works were widely disseminated throughout Europe, and the "Breviculum" was a popular condensed version of his vast corpus. In this miniature painting, the central figure is depicted as a philosopher, possibly Llull himself, surrounded by other figures representing the nine questions. Each question is symbolized by a figure or an object. For instance, the first question, "What is God?" is represented by a figure holding a cross, while the second question, "What is the soul?" is represented by a figure with a heart. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this Gothic art piece reflect the rich artistic and intellectual traditions of the time. The "Breviculum ex Artibus Raimundi Lulli Electum" is a testament to the enduring influence of Ramon Llull's ideas and the artistic mastery of the 14th-century miniaturists. This miniature painting is a valuable addition to the Karlsruhe University Library's collection, providing a glimpse into the intellectual and artistic milieu of the Middle Ages. Its intricate details and rich symbolism continue to captivate scholars and art enthusiasts alike, making it a significant contribution to the study of medieval philosophy, art, and literature.
