Abstract

The chivalric romance Florisando (1510) is notable for the strong religious and doctrinal emphases that its author, Páez de Ribera, expresses throughout his book. On the one hand, this article aims to analyze the censure of elements of magic and sorcery in the prologue in the context of  Catholic orthodoxy as a literary residue of the genre of the sermon. On the other hand, the figure of the knight is studied ranging from the miles christi, defender of Christian values, to the reconciliation of military and scholarly training.
