The authors maintain that Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized the production and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. Ramon Llull (1232-1316), mystic, missionary, philosopher and author of narrative and poetry, wrote both in Latin and in the vernacular claiming he had been given a new science to unveil the Truth. This book shows why his Latin andvernacular books cannot be read as if they had been written in isolation from one another. Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized theproduction and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. At a time when learned texts and university culture were conveyed for the most part using the vehicle of Latin, he wrote a substantial proportion of his theological and scientific works in his maternal Catalan while, at the same time, he was deeply involved in the circulation of such works in other Romance languages. These circumstances do not preclude the fact that a considerable number of the titles comprising his extensive output of more than 260 works were written directly in Latin, or that he had various books which were originally conceived in Catalan subsequently translated or adapted intoLatin.

Ferran Adria is widely considered to be the most innovative, most influential, and indeed the greatest chef in the world today. Culinary giants like Thomas Keller venerate him. El Bulli, the restaurant where he creates his masterpieces, has become a pilgrimage site of sorts; food connoisseurs from around the world journey down a dizzying coastal road to Roses, Spain to experience his unconventional tasting menu -- often consisting of 25 or more courses. But if you want a reservation, get in line.
El principio de esta obra coincide con la llegada de Ferran Adrià a El Bulli, en agosto de 1983. Allí estaba Juli Soler,i a ambos se sumaría Albert Adrià en 1985. Son veinte años de cocina,que se han querido traducir en un trabajo que refleje la evolución de este periodo. Con esta segunda entrega correspondiente a los años 1994-1997,se hace un recorrido por el periodo en el que la creación de elaboraciones, conceptos y técnicas fue formando estilos y características cada vez más personales. Una obra fruto de una reflexión rigurosa y objetiva, pero siempre realizada desde la sensibilidad y la pasión, elementos esenciales en la cocina de El Bulli.
The early Portolan charts and the later nautical charts always formed a key part of the lore of the sea. It was exciting for the mariner to plot his way across the seven seas. Before the discovery of America in 1492, the Mediterranean Sea had been surveyed and charted by cartographers and hydrographers since Ptolomey’s time. Portolan charts were the tools by which the early navigators plotted their routes to the Maltese islands since the advent of the compass in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Sea charts are beautiful, evocative, historically significant, intriguing and keenly collected. Both the manuscript and the printed nautical charts of Malta and Gozo are fascinating to study. They are mostly full of historical information and graphically attractive.0Today’s seamen always wonder how the early navigators managed to traverse the Mediterranean without the help of the mariners’ tools of the scientific age. This book traces the historical development of the charting of Maltese Waters since the earliest surviving sailing directions which mention Malta, the periploi of the Greeks, to the accurate nautical representations of the Maltese islands found in nineteenth-century British Admiralty Charts.
