Abstract
One of the most prolific theologians from the Crown of Aragon in terms of literatura was Frances Eisimenis. He was a nativa of Gerona, city where he was supposedly born around 1327. He developed an intense political and religious activity, directly linking himself to kings such as Juan I and Martin el Humano. During the last years of his life he was appointed patriarch of Jerusalem and bishop of Elna. He died in Perpignan in 1409. Outstanding moralist and theologian of scholastic tradition, he compilas his thoughts in a copious literary work, in comparison to other readings from the age that achieved more or less artistic fortuna. Among his works we can specially stand out Lo Crestià, a magnum encyclopedia that comprised the writing of thirteen volumes but he could only finish four. The most artistically significan volumes that can be named are Libre dels àngels, Scala Dei or Psalterium Laudatorium. With this research we intend to analyze the iconographic contributions of these manuscripsts, occasionally of great originality with influences that bind us to look for his background in the Italian republics.
