He wrote the first major work of Catalan literature. Recently-surfaced manuscripts show him to have anticipated by several centuries prominent work on elections theory. He is sometimes considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially given his influence on Gottfried Leibniz. Llull is well known also as a glossator (scholar) of Roman Law.

He was beatified in 1857 by the Blessed Pope Pius IX and his feast day was assigned to 30 June and is celebrated by the Third Order of St. Francis.…
