Abstract

The religious was not a forbidden terrain for the erotic acuity that characterized an important part of hispanic poetry in decades of the 16th century. Quite the opposite. Rather, the religious is offered to our poets as a challenge to their ingenuity. The following decades, especially after the Quiroga Index (1583) were more demanding. But, until then, althougt they are "offensive to pious ears," obscene words are not the object of special attention from our inquisitors. This explains the existence, in competition with Petrarchan fashion, of a poetic current of erotic content that, in Salamanca in the 1980s (with a author strictly contemporary of Fray Luis), found new impetus with the rescue of the love poetry of Ovid.
