Abstract
Ramon Llull is the author of a large and remarkable corpus of proverbs. He wrote five proverb collections mainly between 1295 and 1302. After contextualizing these texts in the frame of Llull’s intellectual career, summarising their most relevant features and synthetizing some aspects of paremiological theory about proverb markers, this paper examines the use of a set of rhetoric figures in the formulation of proverbs, specially personification and parallelism, which is put into relation with the functions and applied contexts that Llull envisage for his own proverbs.
