Summary/Abstract: The 15th century was a turning point for the Church after a period of decline that threatened its spiritual foundations and social credibility. Translation played a decisive role at the time, making reality the spirit of reform in the religious institution. Translation was the medium in which the Church relied to introduce new ideas based on humanism, promote theology, and serve as a bridge in the evangelical mission, within and outside the borders of the kingdom. Its practice reached great goals among the religious and made it possible to publicize fundamental texts of the Bible, theology, philosophy, literature, and science of renowned European authors.
