- Resum
- Although the contemporary research has managed to reveal his historical figure, the legend of the physician and religious reformer Arnau de Vilanova (c. 1240-1311) has not vanished yet. This article reviews Arnau's biographical accounts or allusions to him made by medieval and early modern authors in order to explore how his myth was created and developed from his lifetime to the Early Modern Ages. Arnau's medieval legends as a necromancer, alchemist and prophet converged into an archetypical image of him as a physician-magician and polymath according to the Renaissance ideal. Each one of the three medieval traditions seems to have been born separately. However, the religious nonconformism of the historical Arnau and the image of him which was transmitted by the detractors of his spiritual thought apparently had an outstanding role in their origin.
