EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ramon Llull (1235-1316) - A Visionary Catalan Scholar and Missionary: Preaching the Word of God in the Breviculum Codex" This evocative miniature from the Breviculum Codex, housed in the Baden Memorial Library in Karlsruhe, Germany, offers a captivating glimpse into the life and missionary endeavors of Ramon Llull (1235-1316), a remarkable figure from the 13th and 14th centuries. Born in Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Llull was a philosopher, theologian, and missionary who dedicated his life to spreading the Catholic faith, particularly among the Muslims and Jews of the Mediterranean world. The image depicts Llull in the act of preaching, with an angel hovering above him, symbolizing divine inspiration. He wears the simple Franciscan habit, signifying his affiliation with the Order of Friars Minor. The Breviculum Codex, a small and portable compendium of his teachings, is open before him, its pages illuminated by the light streaming in from the window. The ladder at his side represents the ascent to knowledge and spiritual growth. Llull's missionary journey took him to various European and Mediterranean cities, including Bejaia in Aragon, where he sought to engage in dialogue with the local Muslim scholars. Although he was not successful in converting the ruler of Bejaia, his efforts contributed to the development of the Catalan language as a literary and scholarly language in Europe. This exquisite miniature, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a poignant reminder of Llull's enduring legacy as a beacon of faith, a champion of interfaith dialogue, and a pioneer in the dissemination of knowledge during the Middle Ages. The Breviculum Codex, with its precious illustrations and Llull's groundbreaking ideas, remains an invaluable testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the Mediterranean world.
