Why Natana?
Natana is one of the characters in Blanquerna, one of the novels written by Ramon Llull at the end of XIII century. In this Novel, Natana describes how to elect the abess of her convent. The method proposed by Llull was latter rediscovered (in the XVIII century) by the French mathematician Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, marquis of Condorcet. Nowadays, this method of election (or method for preference selection) is known as the Condorcet method.
