Keywords: Latin, Romance, Sermons, St. Vincent Ferrer.

The aim of the present article is to explain the textual transmission in Latin and romance language of the sermons preached by S. Vicent Ferrer. His sermons were scored by listeners who were transcribing them and are notable texts in Valencian, Catalan and Castilian medieval literature. In fact, the oldest Vincentian sermons that have come down to us are in latin – which is not to say that he might preach in that language but for its wider dissemination and usefulness were collected in it–, while it is accurate that in some few occasions have some words in other languages, probably introduced by the same reportatores.
