Bernard de Lavinheta
Bernard de Lavinheta (died c. 1530) was a Basque Franciscan from Béarn, known as a teacher of the methods of Raymond Lull.[1]
Life
[edit]He studied at Toulouse and taught at Salamanca. Later he came to Paris.[1]
Works
[edit]His Explanatio compendiosaque applicatio artis Raymundi Lulli was published in 1523 in Lyon.[2] It combined the theories of Lull with alchemy and an encyclopedic theory.[1] Lavinheta also argues in it that the ars generalis of Lull is a memory technique that goes beyond the method of loci.[3]
A new edition of his works was published in 1612 by Johann Heinrich Alsted, for Lazarus Zetzner.[4]
