Project description
How science spoke to the people in the Middle Ages
In mediaeval Europe, scientific knowledge was no longer the sole preserve of scholars. It began trickling into the lives of ordinary people. Central to this shift was the rise of universities and the simplification of complex ideas. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the LEXLlull project explores this transformation through the prolific works of Ramon Llull (1232-1316), a Catalan thinker determined to share his philosophical system, the Art, beyond academic circles. By studying Llull’s multilingual texts (written in Catalan, Latin, French, and Occitan), researchers are creating an online dictionary and examining how scientific vocabulary was shaped by the places he studied and the people he reached. The result: a vivid snapshot of how Europe’s intellectual lexicon spread across languages, borders, and social classes.
Objective
The dissemination of the intellectual lexicon in Europe occurred thanks to the development of universities and the vulgarisation of knowledge. The LEXLlull project aims to analyse the origin and relationship between these two phenomena through the extraordinary production of the Catalan writer Ramon Llull (1232-1316), who was in contact with the academic world of his time and aspired to spread the epistemological system he had created (i.e. the Art) to all strata of society.
The project envisages the creation of a multilingual (Catalan, Latin, French and Occitan) online dictionary based on the works and translations that circulated when the author was alive, and a monographic study of the scientific vocabulary used in the different languages in relation to the study centres he frequented and the different audiences he addressed. In this way, it is possible to obtain a synchronic source of the medieval European scientific lexicon in the main Romance languages and to understand how laymen could acquire this knowledge.
