Revue de presse

In his scholarly study, Mark D. Johnston assesses Llull's approach to eloquence. (Times Literary Supplement)

This is ... a good book because it cuts Llull down to size, arguing that he was neither a 'singluar genius' not a 'scholastic giant', while bringing out the real individuality of at least some of his theories about rhetoric and speech. (D.L. D'Avray, University College, London, Ecclesiastical History 48/4)
