In this article the authors tackle the specifics of periodization of Spanish, Basque and Slovenian literature. They are interested in the denominations (theGolden Age, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, Catholic Restoration and the Baroque), the concept and emergence of religious writing in all three literatures and their attitudes towards oral expression and image representation. The comparative prism of Slovenian-Spanish-Basque literature mainly portrays the contrast between the larger, centralised Spanish literature and the smaller and peripheral Basque and Slovenian literatures which are tied together by some details: the writing of this literature starts with the beginning of the Gutenberg galaxy, the religious and utilitarian character of their older literature and especially the strong dedication to the oral and also during the post-Tridentine period, the connection with the image.
