Abstract
This article discusses the relation established between texts and graphic representations in works of Ramon Llull, paying special attention to a rhetorical device called ekphrasis, that is, the verbal description of a visual object. It analyses descriptions of Lullian figures, and especially of arborial diagrams, in the presence of their representation (referential ekphrasis) or in the absence of same (notional ekphrasis). We conclude that the material aspect of the figures as well as the mental assimilation of their funcion are key elements in the process of cognitive elevation proposed by Llull.
期刊介绍:
Its coverage is threefold: (1) Cultural subjects for the Romance area, in the medieval and post-medieval era (up to 1600). (2) Literature, linguistics and cultural issues in general, concerning the Crown of Aragon and Occitania (and other related areas such as Naples and Navarre). (3) Digital humanities or otherwise methodological studies, provided that they may be of service to the medievalist. This annual publication has been created with the intention of serving as a platform for works that exceed the conventional length of journal articles. Therefore Magnificat CLM will preferably publish long articles, but articles of medium length are not excluded. Magnificat CLM is aimed at an audience of researchers and specialists in medieval studies, especially Romance philology, as well as of specialists in digital humanities. Magnificat CLM consists of a single section of articles, occasionally including a monographic dossier on particular subjects. All articles are indexed. Magnificat CLM published its first volume in 2014.
