Publisher's Synopsis

BLThe first full-length analysis of the rhetorical and preaching theories of Ramon Llull, the thirteenth century lay philosopher and theologian Johnston demonstrates how Llull adapted commonplace ideas of courtly speech and popular sermons in order to create a unitary art of secular and sacred eloquence, and shows that Llull exemplifies the development of intellectual and spiritual ideals among the growing class of educated lay people in the later Middle Ages.
