Rizal started writing the Noli Me Tangere in 1884, while he was studying in Europe. He completed one half of the novel in Madrid. One-fourth of the novel was written when he was at Paris, while the remaining one-fourth was completed in Berlin, Germany on February 21, 1887. The novel came off the press on March 21, 1877, with the financial assistance of Maximo Viola.

The novel was untitled. Later on, he decided to call his first literary masterpiece Noli Me Tangere.(Capino et al, 1977). The title can be translated into English as “Touch Me Not”.
Why Rizal finally wrote the Noli Me Tangere can be gleaned from the dedication of his novel, which runs as follows “ To My Father Land”.
