This chapter brings translation and medieval studies and their respective methodologies in dialogue with each other. It focuses on the Breviculum, an early fourteenth-century guide and short anthology of writings by the Mallorcan polymath and visionary, Llull (1232–1316), a luxury manuscript compiled by Llull’s follower le Myésier and dedicated to the Queen of France, c. 1325. A large part of the manuscript’s significance lies in the twelve miniatures that preface the written portion of the codex; these miniatures represent a visual translation of a quasi-autobiographical account of Llull’s life that was composed in Latin, a little over a decade earlier, in 1311. Exploring the complex relationship between the written and visual versions of Llull’s Vita offers us suggestive new insights how the book could have served as a site of translation, bringing different communities of learning into contact with each other. From the perspective of early fourteenth-century religious practice and spirituality, the study also offers important insights into how medieval Christians thought about ‘translating words into deeds.’
