This Tree of Knowledge Print is a reproduction of Ramon Llull’s iconic diagram from the late 13th century (1295–1296), a visual representation of the unity of all sciences and divine wisdom. The image shows a great tree whose roots, trunk, and branches symbolize the structure of knowledge — from the fundamental principles at the base to the diverse branches of human and divine learning.

A Map of the Sciences and the Soul

Llull’s “Tree of Knowledge” (Arbor Scientiae) is one of the most important intellectual works of the Middle Ages, combining philosophy, theology, logic, and metaphysics into a single system. Each branch of the tree bears a label naming a discipline: theology, philosophy, astronomy, law, medicine, logic, music, and more — revealing Llull’s belief that all paths of knowledge ultimately lead to God.

Available as a fine art print on hand-made paper for an authentic medieval manuscript look or on canvas for a bold gallery-style presence. Each print is delivered unframed, allowing you to pair it with a frame of your choice — perfect for a library, study, or contemplation room.

Symbolism and Esoteric Meaning

• The Trunk – Symbolizes unity and the vertical ascent of wisdom, connecting the material to the spiritual.

• The Branches – The sciences and disciplines, bearing fruit as symbols of enlightenment and human achievement.

• The Two Figures – Likely Llull and a monk, representing teacher and seeker, philosophy and faith.

• The Tree – A living metaphor for growth, divine order, and the interconnectedness of all truths.

Historical and Cultural Context

Ramon Llull (1232–1316), a Majorcan philosopher, logician, and mystic, was one of the first to attempt a universal system of knowledge. His Arbor Scientiae (Tree of Science) was written between 1295 and 1296 and became a cornerstone of medieval scholastic thought. This tree was more than a chart — it was a meditative tool meant to elevate the mind and guide contemplation.

Llull’s diagrams would later influence Renaissance thinkers, alchemists, and early scientists, becoming an early precursor to systems theory and modern knowledge organization. Today, his work is revered by philosophers, historians, and students of esotericism as a bridge between mysticism and rational inquiry.
