Research Interests

After completing my PhD thesis in the Department of History, on 'The Christology of Ramon Llull in the light of his Ars magna' (2002), I was awarded the title of Magister of the Maioricensis Schola Lullistica and was appointed a member of the Centre de Documentacio Ramon Llull at the University of Barcelona. I am currently living in Prague, working as a self-employed translator of medieval Catalan texts and related scholarly works, and as an independent scholar, concentrating upon aspects of the relation between medieval concepts of science and theology, particularly in the works of Ramon Llull. I am an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of History and also affiliated with the University of Barcelona.
