Isidore of Seville: Historical Contexts
No full text[EN] In the middle of the 8th century, the author of what is now called the Mozarabic Chronicle of 754 stressed the importance of the council called in Toledo during the third year of Sisenand’s reign, and noted the presence of Isidore and Braulio.25 This was the Fourth Council of Toledo, held in 633, at which Isidore played an important role. The council dealt with a disparate series of matters, and Isidore’s influence on it is clear
A Companion to Isidore of Seville
No full textA Companion to Isidore of Seville presents nineteen chapters from leading international scholars on Isidore of Seville (d. 636), the most prominent bishop of the Visigothic kingdom in Hispania in the seventh century and one of the most prolific authors of early medieval western Europe.

Isidore's influence extended across the entire Middle Ages and into the early modern period in fields such as church governance and pastoral care, theology, grammar, science, history-writing, linguistics, all topics that are explored in the volume.</p

The Teaching of Isidore of Seville on Predestination
No full textThe views of Isidore of Seville on predestination are described based mainly on the thirtieth chapter of the second book of his De differentiis verborum and the sixth chapter of the third book of his Sententiae. A comparative analysis of the texts of Isidore with their sources follows. As a result, the author of this article refutes earlier argumentation claiming that Isidore’s teaching on predestination contained nothing new but was totally lifted from that of Fulgentius of Ruspe and Gregory the Great. The author on the contrary points out the original elements in Isidore’s teachin
Brevitas in the writings of Isidore of Seville
No full textA large number of the works of Isidore of Seville were described by the author, by close contemporaries, or by subsequent users as being written with brevity. This paper seeks to understand why Isidore claimed to be writing with brevity so often and why brevity was such an important feature of writing in Visigothic Spain. Isidore does not have any special primacy on this issue – he was neither the first to claim to be writing briefly nor the first to fail to write briefly, nor was he the first writer to rationalise the brevity claim. But Isidore is interesting for the fact that he thought about brevity in abstract terms and that his thinking on the matter influenced some very near contemporaries. This happy conjunction means that by exploring Isidore’s writings about brevity and those of his successors we can come to a better understanding of the meaning of the common brevity topos in early medieval writing.</p
