He was possibly one of the more successful medieval Catalan writers since his works were widely read, copied, published and translated.

Among his readers were numbered important people of his time, such as the kings of the Crown of Aragon Peter IV, John I and Martin I, the queen Maria de Luna (wife of Martin I), and the Pope of Avignon Benedict XIII.

Thus, several English Franciscans (and British authors in general) are the thinkers who most influenced Eiximenis, such as Robert Grosseteste (whom Eiximenis calls Linconiensis, since he was bishop of Lincoln), John of Wales, Richard Kilvington, Alexander of Hales, Richard of Middleton, Thomas Bradwardine, William of Ockham, and John Duns Scotus.

Eiximenis acquired this title in 1374 at the University of Toulouse, with the financial help and support of the king Peter IV.

He was on good terms with the Court of the Crown of Aragon and with the ruling social class of Barcelona and València.

In 1397 and 1398 he undertook the organization of two crusades of Valencians and Majorcans against the Muslim pirates of North Africa.

The last years of Eiximenis in Valencia (1404–1408) were devoted to the foundation and endowment of the Franciscan convent of Sant Esperit (in Gilet, near Sagunto).

Another example was the Psaltiri devotíssim [5](Translation into Catalan of 100 out of the 344 prayers of the Psalterium alias Laudatorium).

Secondly, the Spanish translation of the Vida de Jesucrist was the first book that was printed in Granada in 1496 after the conquest of the city by the Catholic Monarchs.
