Abstract:	Bernardo Pérez de Chinchón was a Spanish humanist who, influenced by the devotio moderna and Juan Luis Vives, wrote two works to promote Muslim conversion in Valencia -as well as in Aragon and Granada. His arguments were not original given that they had been commonly used since the Middle Ages. However, Pérez de Chinchón's approach to the debate appears to be very different from the merely controversial tone of many previous authors. In fact, this paper argues that he presented the Muslims as neighbors to be persuaded by the implementation of a proposing catechesis. These requirements were supposed to be valid for the entire society. In this way, the call to Muslim conversion relates to the appeal for a general Church reform.
