Ernst Cassirer, in his grand synthesis of the philosophy of the Renaissance (Individuum und Cosmos in der Philosophie der Renaissance, 1927), limits his purview to the contributions of German, Italian and French thought. But the philosophy of the French Renaissance, both in its Latin (with Charles de Bovelles) and its French language (with Michel de Montaigne) phases, drew support explicitly from from two Catalan thinkers: Ramon Llull (for Bovelles) and Ramon Sibiuda (for Bovelles and Montaigne). In studying the interrelationship between this Catalan thought and the philosophy of the French Renaissance, we will show what motifs in the thought of Ramon Llull and Ramon Sibiuda have contributed to preparing the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era.
