Sumario:This paper wants to elucidate Ramon Llull's idea of Crusade. In the first place the article analyses some historical facts that can be held as the medieval origins of the Crusade. It links the Crusade with the rooted practices of peregrinatio and passagium and also shows the presence of these in Llull's Liber de passagio (1291). In the second place, the paper stresses the significance of Llull's description of specific military tactics to fight against the pagans, an idea that is for the first time fully developed by Llull and that must also be understood in the context of the recent fall of Acre. To this kindled defense of the use of strength the author attributes the originality of the Liber de passagio, at the same time that he sees in it the beginning of a new period in Llull's thought. The article also frames the Liber de passagio in the context of the current papal policy, which implied the use of Crusade for the purposes of that policy, and links it with other previous and contemporary treatises on the Crusade.
