SZPIECH La disputa de Barcelona como punto de inflexión* Ryan Szpiech University of Michigan (EE.UU.) [email protected] La Vita coaetanea (Vida coetánea) es uno de los textos más conocidos de Ramon Llull. Escrito en 1311 por los monjes de la Cartuja de Vauvert en París (supuestamente según el dictado del mismo Llull) el texto ofrece una visión coherente de la formación espiritual e intelectual de Llull y una cronología deta­ llada de sus viajes y obras. El lenguaje del texto implica que la Vita no es sino una copia escrita de una narrativa dictada oralmente por Llull: «Raymundus quorumdam suorum amicorum religiosorum devictus instantia narravit scribi- que permisit ista que sequuntur hic, de conversione sua ad poenintentiam et de aliquibus gestis eius» (ROL VIII, 272). Además de lo que implica este incipit, el contenido del texto ha llevado a muchos lectores a creer que está basado en hechos fidedignos. Como argumenta Domínguez Reboiras, «no cabe la menor duda que los datos esenciales de su vida proceden de Llull. El relato de su con¬ versión (§§ 2-9) y la crisis religiosa de Genova (§§ 21-25), por ejemplo, están tan llenos de anotaciones personales y revelan reacciones tan íntimas que no pueden ser fruto de la imaginación de otro autor [...] parece claro que nada fue aquí fruto de la invención del escribano» (Domínguez Reboiras 1987, 6). Igual­ mente, Batllori ha afirmado que la Vita es, entre los textos autobiográficos, «una Rebut el 25 de juny de 2014. Acceptat de juliol de 2014. doi: 10.3306/STUDIALULLIA- NA.109.03 Ryan Szpiech. ISSN: 2340-4752. * Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto «Legado de Sefarad. La producción material e intelecutal del judaísmo sefardí bajomedieval», dirigido por el Dr. Javier del Barco (CSIC) y financiado por el Plan Nacional de I+D+i (FFI2012-38451). Quiero agradecer al Dr. Del Barco su ayuda, y a Juan Udaondo Alegre y Lola Badia sus correcciones y sugerencias. de les més autentiques de tota l'edat mitjana [...] tan exacta i tan verídica en els detalls biogràfics» (Batllori 1993, 8). Por otro lado, no todos los lectores críticos están de acuerdo. En un estudio sintáctico y estructural de la versión latina, Ruf- fini ha mostrado que el texto emplea «un carattere linguistico popolare» y «un latino volgarizzato ne lessico e nella sintassi» (Ruffini 1961, 156), y concluye que la construcción lingüística es más del escriba monástico que de Llull mismo. Igualmente, Hillgarth argumenta que el texto ha sido «retocado» por el autor monástico.1 A pesar del debate sobre la autoría de Llull y el papel de los monjes de Vau- vert, el texto ha sido siempre una fuente de información biográfica de la vida de Llull. Desde el Breviculum de Tomás Le Myésier en ca. 1325, menos de una década después de la muerte de Llull (1316), al siglo XXI, la Vita ha sido estu¬ diada cuidadosamente para reconstruir una cronología coherente de su vida.2 Sin embargo, el texto no dice nada en concreto sobre la vida temprana de Llull, y deja varias lagunas en la cronología: por ejemplo, los nueve años de estudio con su esclavo musulmán (ca. 1265-1274), la década que sigue a la muerte del escla­ vo, la iluminación de Llull en el monte de Randa (ca. 1276-1287) y algunos años a principios del s. XIV. Aunque la Vita fue escrita cuando Llull tenía unos ochenta años, el texto sólo describe en detalle unos veinticinco años de su carre¬ ra, y obviamente no incluye información sobre los últimos cinco años de su vida. Al mismo tiempo, recordemos que el texto declara que su enfoque es princi¬ palmente de conversione sua ad poenitentiam y sólo pretende añadir después una discusión de aliquibus gestis eius: es decir, que su tema principal no es la vida o las «gestas» de Llull en general, sino su «conversión» a la vida religiosa. El texto sirve como forma de autojustificación según un modelo hagiográfico, tal como ha mostrado, entre otros, Claudio Leonardi. Esta apropiación del mo¬ delo hagiográfico por razones literarias y biográficas, como la encontramos en Dante, la denomina Leonardi una «antihagiografía», esto es, «un'immagine di santo contrapposta a quella che il potere civile-ecclesiastico desidera» (Leonardi 2004, 660), o en palabras de Lola Badia, «la utilización de procedimientos de autolegitimación propios del santo, del místico y del profeta al servicio de inte¬ reses particulares, a veces de carácter profano» (Badia 1997, 13).

    Zionist Thought: Classical Theories and Current Dilemmas Dr. Arnold M. Eisen, JTS ScholarStream | April 21, 2021 Source 1: Theodor Herzl, The Jewish State (1896) in Hertzberg, Arthur, ed. The Zionist Idea: A Historical Analysis and Reader. Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society, 1997, 209. Anti-Semitism is a highly complex movement, which I think I understand. I approach this movement as a Jew, yet without fear or hatred. I believe that I can see in it the elements of cruel sport, of common commercial rivalry, of inherited prejudice, of religious intolerance—but also of a supposed need for self-defense. I consider the Jewish question neither a social nor a religious one, even though it sometimes takes these and other forms. It is a national question, and to solve it we must first of all establish it as an international political problem to be discussed and settled by the civilized nations of the world in council. We are a people—one people. We have sincerely tried everywhere to merge with the national communities in which we live, seeking only to preserve the faith of our fathers. It is not permitted us. In vain are we loyal patriots, sometimes superloyal; in vain do we make the same sacrifices of life and property as our fellow citizens; in vain do we strive to enhance the fame of our native lands in the arts and sciences, or her wealth by trade and commerce. In our native lands where we have lived for centuries we are still decried as aliens, often by men whose ancestors had not yet come at a time when Jewish sighs had long been heard in the country.

Issues dealt with include Llull's attitude towards the Jews, his knowledge of Kabbalah, his theories regarding the Trinity and Incarnation (the Art), and the impact of his ideas on the Jewish community. The book challenges conventional scholarly opinion regarding Christian knowledge of contemporary Jewish thought and questions the assumption that Christians did not know or use Kabbalah before the Renaissance. Further, it suggests that Lull was well aware of ongoing intellectual and religious controversies within the Jewish community, as well as being the first Christian to acknowledge and appreciate Kabbalah as a tool for conversion.
