Pereira, Michela, Catalogue of the alchemical works attributed to Raimond Lull, 1998-2018 ("None of the alchemical writings traditionally attributed to Lull can be plausibly ascribed to him. ... The ground for such a clear rejection of the longlasting tradition, which had added an impressive number of alchemical works to Lull's authentic production, is double: the prevalently negative attitude expressed by Lull himself towards alchemy in his authentic works, and the fact that all of the pseudo-Lullian alchemical writings can be dated only after his death.")

Principe, Lawrence M., Alchemy, 2013, pg. 16, (Pseuo-Lull, Theorica testamentum; alchemical and medical recipes, after 1446-c1475. "The Testamentum is the earliest and most important work in the Pseudo-Lullian Alchemical corpus, none of which are now considered authentic. Instead, the Testamentum was by an anonymous fourteenth-century Catalan scholar, now know as the 'Magister Testamentum,' who probably studied medicine at Montpellier and was active in Catalonia, Southern France and England.")

Wikipedia, Ramon Llull entry, viewed Nov. 14, 2018 (Ramon Llull, T.O.S.F c. 1232[3] - c. 1315; Anglicised Raymond Lully, Raymond Lull; in Latin Raimundus or Raymundus Lullus or Lullius) was a philosopher, logician, Franciscan tertiary and writer from the Kingdom of Majorca, A considerable body of work on esoteric subjects was misattributed to Llull in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The oeuvre of the pseudo-Llull (and, by extension, that of the actual Llull) was influential among Hermeticists, Gnostics, and other Esoterics. Llull himself explicitly condemned many of the subjects, such as alchemy, that he is purported to have written about)
