Abstract

The subject of this article presents selected aspects of the legal problems according to Isidore of Seville. The starting point of the analysis consists of a brief characterization of his Etymology, a work considered as the first encyclopedia of Christianity. This device allows to better examine the place of legal issues in the structure of the work. The author then presents the organization, division, and characteristics of the legal material in Book V. De legibus, also referred to as the Treatise on Law. The following paragraph discusses the legal issues included by Sevillian in other chapters of the Etymology.
