Soft cover magazine format in tan wraps with title to cover, 75 pp. The monograph is the work of Sharpe, Assist. Professor of Pathology, Seton Hall College of Medicine. He translates the medical and anatomical portions of the 7th century AD scholar and cleric's famous Etymologiae from the original Greek and Latin, and provides an introduction and commentary. Isidore of Seville ( c.560-636) was considered the most learned man of his age, sainted by the Catholic Church for his work as Archbishop of Seville in turning the tide against Iberian Visogoth barbarism and heresy. He is also, however, credited with the rescue of classical texts of antiquity, Aristotle, for instance, bringing his version of the scarce classical texts to a new audience within the newly founded cathedral schools he was instrumental in creating under the aegis of the Fourth Council of Toledo (633AD). There, Greek, Hebrew, liberal arts, law and medicine were taught, ensuring the future of classical texts into the Middle Ages and beyond. Includes a "Note on the Plague." Condition: Near Fine.
