Abstract
In response to the anatomical descriptions provided in the work on the soul composed by Ramon Llull, namely, the New Book concerning the Rational Soul, this paper will delve into the history of anatomy in order to determine precisely what role seems to have been performed by such descriptions within the medieval scientiade anima. Analysis of this kind enables one to arrive at an understanding of a doctrine which is relatively unitary as regards the brain’s anatomy, this latter, in line with Galenic theory, being conceived as the highest organ. Starting out from this doctrinal context, we intend to indicate the specificity of Llull’s own doctrine and to explain such specificity in terms of its correlation with his theories of knowledge and of man.
