Abstract

This article analyzes an exempla collection of the Library of the Cathedral of Pamplona, from the second half of the 15th century. They are versions of already known tales, with the singularity of being written in navarrese, a romance dialect. Conceived to be used for illustrating and making sermons more understandable, they constitute a valuable information source about late medieval spirituality, and also about the strategies used by preachers in order to transmit the truths faith of and inculcate ethical conduct.
