 The romantic novel "Blanquerna" is considered the first major work of literature written in Catalan, and possibly the first European novel.Llull's first elucidation of the "Art" was in "Art Abreujada d'Atrobar Veritat" ("The Abbreviated Art of Finding Truth"), in 1290.After spending some time teaching in France and being disappointed by the poor reception of his "Art" among students, Llull decided to revise it.
