[...] il avoit trouvé une medecine générale par l’or potable , avec laquelle il s’estoit conservé sain jusqu’à l’âge de cent quarante-cinq ans, auquel âge il fut martyrisé, et que cela ne devoit apporter aucun ternissement à la mémoire, au contraire la rehausser".

El missioner caputxí Pacifique de Provins torna de Pèrsia (1628) i s'atura a Mallorca, on també atura el seu relat per explicar una cosa "que j'ay curieusement notée [...] sur le sujet d'un saint personnage et des premiers hommes du monde": Ramon Llull, esclar.

THE GEOMETRY OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATION Measure without Measure David ALBERTSON OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, December 2025 global.oup.com/academic/produ… Abstract The writings of ancient and medieval Christian mystics were rediscovered in the twentieth century, and today they are read more widely than ever before. But do modern assumptions about religious experience influence how we hear those premodern voices? Do we do them justice by thinking of mysticism as interior and ineffable? Or can mystical experience intersect with the natural environment, and indeed the cosmos, which science calculates with precise quantities? David Albertson's The Geometry of Christian Contemplation: Measure without Measure suggests a fresh approach to the history of mystical theology that is oriented toward exteriority more than interiority, and toward the measurable world outside more than the invisible world within. The ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus had taught contemplatives to close their eyes and withdraw into the soul. Most Christians followed his directions, but others dissented. In three critical episodes, an alternative model of Christian contemplation began to emerge: from Dionysius the Areopagite, to the Byzantine monks John of Damascus and Theodore the Studite, to eccentric humanists in medieval Paris. Together these episodes add up to a very different theological aesthetics, one that can enliven the modern study of mysticism and correct some of its imbalances. For in the centuries before the scientific revolution and the secularization of nature, Christians still saw God in the exterior world, not only the interior soul. God was not an ineffable and formless Absolute, immeasurable as the soul, but an infinite Measure who leaves behind geometrical traces in the figures of the world. The God who became a human body in the Incarnation not only entered time and matter, but also spatial extension, and with it the conditions of measure: points, lines, curves, shapes, planes, dimensions, and magnitudes. Today the wisdom of this counter-tradition can strengthen the study of mysticism, not only by supplementing our contemporary fascination with negative theology by redefining what it means to name God positively, but by suggesting a new connection between Christian mysticism and the hyper-measured, hyper-technologized world that surrounds us. Author David Albertson is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he studies medieval Christianity and philosophy of religion and serves as Executive Director of the Nova Forum for Catholic Thought. He is the author of Cusanus Today: Thinking with Nicholas of Cusa Between Philosophy and Theology (CUA, 2024), Mathematical Theologies: Nicholas of Cusa and the Legacy of Thierry of Chartres (Oxford, 2014), and Without Nature? A New Condition for Theology (Fordham, 2009). His research is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

"Cap feina no és, a darrera hora, inútil, quan el cor l'estimula" (Foix). Com podria ser inútil aquesta feina, si suma vida a la vida i possibilita l’existència d’una llibertat dirigida, orientada, en el si d’una llibertat absurda?
