- Resum
- "Graphic representations in Ramon Llull's Llibre de contemplació". — The modern reader's concept of a work is that of a fixed and closed text, independent of the number of copies in which it may circulate, since it is transmitted in a stable, unvarying way. If, for some reason, a new edition introduces modifications in the text, the reader would be clearly informed thereof. This idealized concept of a work only became general with the development of the modern idea of the author linked to the spread of printed texts. Like the medieval man he was, Llull thought rather in terms of the manuscript, of a concrete object, which acquires meaning in and of itself, by the works it transmits, by the material conditions under which the text of a work can be modified or in which new diagrams and charts can be included, often directed to some specific addressee or addressees. This idea is optimal, considering medieval systems of manuscript production, especially if the prime object is the diffusion of books rather than their invariability, and there can be no doubt that this was Ramon Llull's intent. This article studies the nature and function of the fourteen graphic representations which accompany the text of Ramon Llull's Book of Contemplation (ca. 1274), the first of the many works in which he used visual diagrams. In the margins of the oldest manuscript of the work, a copy finished in 1280, and only in this copy, do we find some fifty other figures which complement the originals. This task of illustration represents the last stage in the elaboration of the codex and is attributable to circles close to Llull. All in all, this shows how his concept of a work was made concrete in each manuscript copy he had made.
