Isidore, St (
c.560–636), Bp. of Seville and Metropolitan of Baetica from
c.600. He used his ecclesiastical position to strengthen the Visigothic monarchy, and it can be argued that he evolved the concept of a Spanish Church and united Hispano-Gallic State independent of external authority. He presided over the Fourth Council of
Toledo (633) and is traditionally associated with the development of the
Hispana Collection of conciliar acts. His influence did much to secure the acceptance of the
Filioque clause in the W.
His works were a storehouse of information freely used by medieval authors. The most important, the
Etymologiae, is an encyclopaedia covering both secular and religious subjects. It is organized on the principle that etymologies usually give information on the things to which the words refer. Derived and often fanciful, it is a valuable source for the learning and thought of the time. His
De Ecclesiasticis Officiis is a useful source for the
Mozarabic liturgy. Feast day, 4 Apr. See also following entry.
