Drawing on recent studies on identity formation in the early medieval period and an upsurge in interest in late antique Spain, this book examines the historical Isidore as a social actor managing a complex web of responsibilities and relationships. A comparative analysis of Isidore's historical works demonstrates that writing about the past was a method for reconciling Visigothic kings, nobles and Spanish bishops in a period of transformation. This results in a fresh portrait of Isidore as motivated, both politically and pastorally, to balance competing interests and ensure the spiritual and material security of the people of Spain.Brill's series on the early Middle Ages ;v. 21.VisigothsSpainHistoryChurch and stateSpainHistoryTo 1500Nation-buildingSpainHistoryTo 1500National characteristics, SpanishGroup identitySpainSpainHistoryGothic period, 414-711SpainEthnic relationsHistoryTo 1500SpainCivilizationTo 711VisigothsHistory.Church and stateHistoryNation-buildingHistoryNational characteristics, Spanish.Group identity946/.01Wood Jamie P.1978-1572992MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790390103321The politics of identity in Visigoth Spain3848492UNINA
