Historical and Cultural Context

First written in 1295 by the Majorcan philosopher, mystic, and polymath Ramon Llull (Raimundus Lullus), the Arbor Scientiae (Tree of Science) was a revolutionary attempt to create a universal system of knowledge (Ars Magna). In 16th-century printed editions across Spain and Italy, woodcut and copperplate engravings transformed Llull's text into striking visual trees. Llull's visual diagrams directly influenced early modern memory systems, Renaissance Hermeticism, and the development of computer logic centuries later.

Today, this classical engraving is celebrated by historians, philosophers, and esoteric scholars as one of the most important visual monuments of medieval and Renaissance intellectual history.
