Physicians; doctors Biographies Alchemy Occult sciences 13th century Medieval England Arnaldus de Villanova Lull, Ramón

Lull's autobiography, a relevant contribute to his self-presentation as Doctor Illuminatus, was also at the origin of legendary motives (love desenchantment, martyrdom, visions and other wonderful episodes witnessing his wisdom), that converged into a tale first developed in Mallorquine tradition and later accepted by Lull's pious followers and by Lullian scholars. At the same time, an alchemical legend was slowly emerging from motives embedded in the works on alchemy falsely attributed to Lull: his being taught alchemy by Arnald of Villanova, the journey to England, the ambivalent relationship to the English king. Eventually the two tales conflate into one in XVIIIth century Hermeticism, outside Lullian and pseudo- Lullian environments. Thus Lull, saint and alchemist, became an outstanding representative of the occult tradition.
