“Servicio de Dios y provecho y salud de las almas”. La predicación mendicante en el arzobispado de Sevilla durante la Baja Edad Media

Abstract

The mendicant orders were born from a desire for renewal that the Church used as an important instrument of reform. Franciscans and Dominicans, with a significant academic training, dedicated to preaching and confession. Preachers, divided into “terminarios”, local celebrities and itinerant prophets; the reasons for preaching, sometimes mixed with other matters; liturgical and civil times; the locations and contents of preaching in the archbishopric of Seville are examples of the extensive and fruitful work of the mendicant within late medieval Seville society, of which they formed a part and in the creation of whose mentality they influenced in a decisive way.
