Description
Summary:Although the rich collection of Lull's works in the library of Nicholas of Kues testifies eloquently to the debt the German cardinal owed to the Catalan polymath, Ramon Lull, the extent of the cardinal's indebtedness was not properly appreciated until the study of Eusebio Colomer in Nikolaus von Kues und Raimund Llull (Berlin, 1961). The depth of Cusanus's engagement with Lull manifests itself especially in the excerpts from Lull's works made by him (now preserved in MS Cus. 83, fol. 93r–102r of the cardinal's library, and edited by Colomer, Nikolaus von Kues, 125–86). These excerpts have recently been reedited by Ulrich Roth and the original texts of most of the works of Lull that were excerpted by Cusanus published in the series, Raimundi Lulli opera latina (28 vols., Palma de Mallorca-Turnhout, 1957–2003).
