We offer in this work several sermons composed and preached approximatively about 1828 in the High-Navarrese village called Urdazubi/Urdax by José Matías de Elizalde (1776-1856), the last abbot (1833-1839) of the Premonstratensian monastery placed in the above mentioned village. When the monastery was closed and the monks were expelled hy the Spanish Government, the author took refuge at his native house, in the nearby Baztan valley, where he died. In our opinion, the texts are written in the variety spoken in Urdazubi of the Basque dialect known as the one used in Lapurdi.
