Isidore compiled the work between c.615 and the early 630s and it takes the form of an encyclopedia, arranged by subject matter. It contains much lore of the late classical world beginning with the Seven Liberal Arts, including Rhetoric, and touches on thousands of topics ranging from the names of God, the terminology of the Law, the technologies of fabrics, ships and agriculture to the names of cities and rivers, the theatrical arts, and cooking utensils. Isidore provides etymologies for most of the terms he explains, finding in the causes of words the underlying key to their meaning. This book offers a highly readable translation of the twenty books of the Etymologies, one of the most widely known texts for a thousand years from Isidore's time. 606 $aEncyclopedias and dictionaries$vEarly works to 1600 606 $aLatin language$xEtymology$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aDidactic literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)$vTranslations into English 615 0$aEncyclopedias and dictionaries 615 0$aLatin language$xEtymology 615 0$aDidactic literature, Latin (Medieval and modern) 676 $a032 700 $aIsidore$cof Seville, Saint,$f-636,$0629493 702 $aBarney$b Stephen A. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457686703321 996 $aEtymologiae$953081 997 $aUNINA
