The present study seeks to analyze works in Castilian from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that aimed not only to prepare clergy for their catechetical missions but also to educate laypeople, as these works circulated among literate nobles. Confessors’ manuals, collections of sermons, and exempla were not confined to clerical circles; they were also intended for lay audiences during that period. This research aims to examine the role of laypeople in the process of establishing Christian beliefs. More specifically, it focuses on examining the rhetorical techniques used for the moral formation of laypeople.
