"Language and Orthodoxy: the Latin Translation of Llull's Llibre contra Anticrist"
Actes del Congrés de Clausura de l'Any Llull. «Ramon Llull, pensador i escriptor». Barcelona, 17-18 de novembre de 2016, ed. Lola Badia, Joan Santanach i Suñol iand Albert Soler i Llopart "Col·lecció Blaquerna" 13 (Barcelona / Palma: Universitat de Barcelona / Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2018), pp. 327-345.
The approximately fifteen-year gap between the original Catalan version of Llull's Llibre contra Anticrist and the Latin translation/redaction breaks the more usual pattern of composition, revision and translation of Llull's works, and therefore raises important questions about Llull's engagement with contemporary religious, political and social issues related to the dissemination of vernacular religious texts. The eschatological framework for Llull's missionary ideas as articulated in the Llibre contra Anticrist embodied a powerful argument about the significance and value of Llull's Art itself; its eschatological concerns, not to mention its distinctly anti-crusade sentiments, were both timely but also potentially subversive. By surveying Llull's engagement with medieval theories of translation; providing a brief analysis of the content and goals of the treatise itself; placing the treatise in the context of both late thirteenth-century concerns about the relationship between vernacularity and heresy on the one hand, and the eschatological ideas of the Spiritual Franciscans (and other groups) on the other; and highlighting some crucial differences between the Catalan and Latin versions of the text; this essay argues that one important reason for producing the Latin version of the Llibre contra Anticrist was to emphasize Llull's orthodoxy. This strategy gained Llull a broader audience while simultaneously allowing him to capitalize on the sensationalism of the topic to gain attention and support for what he really cared about, namely his missionary proposals. Moreover, study of the bilingual transmission of this treatise demonstrates how Llull and his oeuvre participated in the overlapping textual communities of his time. It especially offers insight into intensifying contemporary concerns about possible associations between vernacular religious texts and heresy in the European Mediterranean during this period.
