Editat de Andrew Fear, Jamie Wood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 noi 2019
A 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.
Introductory studies establish the political, religious and familial contexts in which Isidore operated, his key works are then analysed in detail, as are some of the main themes that run throughout his corpus. 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, and linguistics – all topics that are explored in the volume.

Contributors: Graham Barrett, Winston Black, José Carracedo Fraga, Santiago Castellanos, Pedro Castillo Maldonado, Jacques Elfassi, Andrew Fear, Amy Fuller, Raúl González Salinero, Jeremy Lawrance, Céline Martin, Thomas O'Loughlin, Martin J. Ryan, Sinéad O'Sullivan, Mark Lewis Tizzoni, Purificación Ubric Rabaneda, Faith Wallis, Immo Warntjes, and Jamie Wood.

Recenzii

“The Companion offers an excellent introduction to Isidore and his works that is accessible, informative, and stimulating for newcomers and experts alike […] Like Isidore himself, the Companion’s essays gloss and interpret rather than simply transmit, guiding readers through existing scholarship while advancing new observations and indicating promising avenues of research.”
Molly Lester, United States Naval Academy. In: Speculum, Vol. 96, No. 2 (April 2021), pp. 494–496.

“Both the fact that over 1,000 of Isidore's manuscripts survive to this day and the impeccable scholarship of this companion's essays attest to Isidore's influence on the medieval Christian tradition. Each essay is further supplemented by an excellent accompanying bibliography. Although interested readers should approach this volume with a good deal of familiarity with early medieval history, it is an important contribution to the period sometimes (unjustly) labeled the ‘Dark Ages.’”
P. A. Streveler, emeritus, West Chester University of Pennsylvania. In: Choice Reviews, Vol. 57 No. 10 (June 2020).
