Llull proposed institutionalized missionary training in four monasteries by religion.

Evidence

Llull affirms that the Pope should appoint a cardinal whose sole duty is the conversion of infidels. He would supervise the construction of four monasteries specialized in the education of missionaries: one monastery for missionaries to the Saracens, one for missionaries to the Jews, one for those to the “schismatics,” one for those to the Tartars and other pagans. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1330
