Keywords: Christian, Council Vienne, Humanism, Ramon Llull.
The Council of Vienne (1311-12) proposed to make proposals around the crusade. In this context, Ramon Llull made a series of proposals before his convocation, which were synthesized in the memorial Petitio in concilio generali [sc. Vienne] ad acquirendam terram sanctam (1311). They can be summarized in three thematic nuclei: the foundation of chairs for the teaching of oriental languages; the reform of the military orders to conquer the Holy Land, and, finally, the defense of the nature of the human person against Averroism that he considered an error. Of all these proposals, he succeeded in achieving the first and thus endowed European universities with the study of oriental languages for the later missionary enterprise. Without a doubt, a fundamental element in the synthesis of prehumanist thought that he promulgated until his last days of life as an influential man in the thought of the western Mediterranean and Europe.

Original title: Deu petiteses que magnifiquen la Griselda catalana
Keywords: Bernat Metge, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Boccaccio, Griselda, Humanism.
Ten little things that magnify the Catalan Griselda: The stories of Griselda by the Italian authors, Boccaccio and Petrarca, bear witness to a profound discussion, as revealed by the epistolary of the Seniles. Bernat Metge, sensitive to the new current, enters into this controversy with his Catalan version and through some letters. His support for Boccaccio and the disjunction towards the mentor, which were already known, we analyze here from ten corners of observation, which explain the sign of the Humanisme in its origins, and can still give reason for its course.
