The significance of this manuscript which was written about the year 1322 lies not only in its artistic decoration, but also in the extensive texts which are preserved only in this form. A remarkable series of tewlve full-page miniatures describes the life of the great spanish philosopher, Ramon Lull, and presents in allegorical form the content of his work. The miniatures close with an impressive dedication-page portraying the presentation on three manuscripts by Thomas Le Myésier, a pupil of Lull in Paris, to the Queen of France, Jeanne de Bourgogne-Artois, the wife of Philip V. The Karlsruhe manuscript is one of these books, the „Electorium parvum seu Breviculum“.<br/>These three books – of which two are preserved – are compendia of Lull’s works and teachings prepared by Le Myésier (died in 1336), who sought to make the works of his master known to a wider public.<br/>
English description: The significance of this manuscript which was written about the year 1322 lies not only in its artistic decoration, but also in the extensive texts which are preserved only in this form. A remarkable series of tewlve full-page miniatures describes the life of the great spanish philosopher, Ramon Lull, and presents in allegorical form the content of his work. The miniatures close with an impressive dedication-page portraying the presentation on three manuscripts by Thomas Le Myesier, a pupil of Lull in Paris, to the Queen of France, Jeanne de Bourgogne-Artois, the wife of Philip V. The Karlsruhe manuscript is one of these books, the “Electorium parvum seu Breviculum”. These three books – of which two are preserved – are compendia of Lull’s works and teachings prepared by Le Myesier (died in 1336), who sought to make the works of his master known to a wider public. German description: Das seit 1807 in der Badischen Landesbibliothek aufbewahrte “Breviculum” gehort zu den interessantesten Handschriften des europaischen Mittelalters. Es ist eine Kompilation der Schriften Ramon Lulls (ca. 1232-1316) mit zwolf ganzseitigen Miniaturen, die das Leben und die Lehre des katalanischen Philosophen, Theologen und Dichters darstellen. Zu verdanken ist sie Thomas Le Myesier (a 1336), einem der treuesten und namhaftesten Schuler Lulls. Le Myesier war der Hofarzt Mahauts, der Grafin von Artois und Burgund. Die prachtvolle Miniaturenfolge gehort zu den wertvollsten Zeugnissen der franzosischen Buchmalerei aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die monumental gehaltenen, an den Stil der Wandmalerei erinnernden Miniaturen sind das Werk eines eigenstandigen Kunstlers, der sich keiner bekannten Buchmalerwerkstatt zuordnen lasst. Besonders die Verbindung der Miniaturen mit philosophischen Texten ist ungewohnlich. Dies gilt auch fur die Anordnung der Texte: Sie erscheinen in Spruchbandern und Sprechblasen. Insgesamt stellt diese Handschrift ein einmaliges Dokument fur die von Le Myesier begrundete philosophische Richtung des Lullismus dar.
