Liber de gentili et tribus sapientibus <Latin> / Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men (1276) is a manuscript work by Ramon Llull.
Abstract
Written in 1274-76, the work is modeled after Dialogus inter philosophum, Judaeum, et Christianum (Dialogue of a Philosopher with a Jew and a Christian / 1139 Abelard), ms.. While in Abelard the Jew and the Christian are in dialog with a Muslim philosopher, in Llull the three wise men, representatives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are engaged in a conversation with an agnostic philosopher.
