He is sometimes considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially given his influence on Gottfried Leibniz.

Llull is well known also as a glossator of Roman Law.

Within the Franciscan Order, he is honored as a martyr.

He is beatified in 1857 by Pope Pius IX and his feast day is assigned to 30 June and is celebrated by the Third Order of St. Francis.
