Sumario:This paper seeks to show the doctrinal context of the early XV century, by analyzing the Sacramental (1421-1425) of Clemente Sánchez de Vercial (ca. 1370- 1426), a paradigmatic pastoral treatise that deals with liturgy, familiar and social relationships, work, leisure, diet, customs, sexuality, etc. Due to its wide popularity, it is often used as a magnifying glass to understand important aspects of late medieval society (some of its open-minded doctrines led it eventually to the Index librorum prohibitorum during the XVIth century). From its very prologue, clear signs of moral and social renovation within Christian orthodoxy are put forward. The freedom of its theological spirit, in tune with the open environment previous to the Council of Basel (1431-1437), is also manifest from the biblical, theological and canonical sources quoted by the Sacramental. This influential treatise also helps understanding some methodological changes that took place at the School of Salamanca, and that pervaded afterwards the Spanish and Portuguese universities.
