First Complete Translation

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

While Ramon Llull's works are widely discussed in scholarly literature, and some of his shorter or specific works (like 'The Book of the Lover and the Beloved') have been translated, there is no evidence of a complete, published English translation of the 'Ars Magna' (or 'Ars Generalis Ultima'). Scholarly articles frequently discuss the 'Ars Magna' in the original Latin or provide only partial excerpts or summaries in English. Therefore, this 1686 manuscript copy represents a work for which no complete English translation exists.
