Ramon Llull as a Vernacular Writer
The authors maintain that Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized the production and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. Ramon Llull (1232-1316), mystic, missionary, philosopher and author of narrative and poetry, wrote both in Latin and in the vernacular claiming he had been given a new science to unveil the Truth. 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 orga...
Historical Dictionary of the Catalans
In this reference, Buffery and Marcer cover all of the areas historically inhabited by the Catalan people. These are, in order of size and population: Catalonia, which accounts for over half of the population of the Catalan-speaking areas; Valencia, with over a third; the Balearic Islands with just under 8 percent; and the Catalunya Nord, the Principality of Andorra, and the Catalan-speaking areas within Aragon, Murcia, and Alghero. The Historical Dictionary of the Catalans deals not only with the people who live in Catalonia, but with the language and culture of the Catalan countries as well. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics.

Mistral in Catalonia
This publication, coordinated by Dr. Antoni Rossell and Dr. Hélène Rufat, presents the figure of Frédéric Mistral, Nobel laureate in Literature (1904), leader in the rehabilitation of the Occitan language and beating heart of relations with the Catalan intellectual world. His rôle was fundamental for the cultural milieu of Catalonia, a fact reflected in the wide range of written testimonials preserved in Catalan institutions. This book provides a taste of the rich documentation available in the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona and the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer in Vilanova i la Geltrú. The book contains interviews with specialists in the field who provide a multifaceted visi...
Three Selected Papers on Catalan Folklore
This volume contains a selection of three translations of articles by Josep M. Pujol (Barcelona, 1947–2012), one in each of the three areas that he defined to characterise his work in the field of folklore: the theory of interactive artistic communication; the history of folklore studies and folk literature; and folk narrative. The three articles give a taste of the important contributions he made to the study of folklore, and which have been studied and contextualised by Carme Oriol in the introduction that precedes the three texts. This edition also includes the complete folkloric bibliography of Josep M. Pujol in chronological order, with all the references.
La columna de foc
Gabriel Alomar i Villalonga (Palma 1873 – El Caire 1941) va reunir la major part de la seva obra poètica en el volum La columna de foc (1911). Malgrat que des de la joventut havia publicat poemes en nombroses periòdics i revistes de Catalunya i de Mallorca, la poesia tan sols fou un caire més de la seva dedicació a la literatura, al costat de l’assaig i la prosa literària. Més que un poeta, Alomar va ser un intel·lectual que projectava el seu pensament en àmbits molt diversos, com la política, el periodisme i l’ensenyament. En la conferència El futurisme (1904) sintetitzà aquest pensament, en el qual s’integren idees molt característiques de la fi de segle xix, tant des d...
The Art and Logic of Ramon Llull
This book attempts to explain the functioning of the combinatorial, semi-mechanical demonstrative techniques of Ramon Llull's 'Art', how it began as an apologetic instrument, how it developed through two main stages, and how it ended trying to reformulate key aspects of medieval Aristotelian logic.
