Faith and reason in Ramón Llull: the Liber de convenientia fidei et intellectus in obiecto (1314)

Abstract

In this paper we offer the translation from Latin to Spanish of Ramón Llull ́s Liber de convenientia fidei et intellectus in obiecto (1314) with introduction and notes. This is a work where the mallorcan philosopher makes a synthetic framework of his thinking on the rela-tionship between faith and reason, as well as of his posi-tion towards the defense of catholic faith and conversion of non-christian people. The text, which is shown as a definitive work in the setting of this relationship, uses the most characteristic principles of his system, Ars magna, but still is a rara avis inside the opus lulliana: is full of biblical quotations and allusions to the most renowned ecclesiastical auctoritates, all these absents in most lullian woks.
