🕯️ Early 12th Century | Old Catalan
What is this text?
The Homilies d’Organyà are a medieval Catalan sermon manuscript, often dated to the late AD 1100s or early AD 1200s. They are among the earliest surviving prose written in Catalan, created so ordinary people could understand teaching in the local language rather than Latin.
What you’re seeing:
A spoken reconstruction inspired by Homilies d’Organyà wording. The dialogue uses words taken verbatim from a Generalitat de Catalunya excerpt, adapted into a tighter two-line delivery.
Full dialogue (Old Catalan):
“Tornad vos a mi, ab tot vostre cor z ab tota vostra pensa.
No dix mica ab la meitat del cor mas ab tot lo cor.”
Modern Catalan (translation):
“Torneu-vos a mi, amb tot el vostre cor i amb tot el vostre pensament.
No va dir pas amb la meitat del cor, sinó amb tot el cor.”
English (translation):
“Return to me, with all your heart and with all your thought.
He did not say with half the heart, but with the whole heart.”
