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. 410 0$aBrill's series on the early Middle Ages ;$vv. 21. 606 $aVisigoths$zSpain$xHistory 606 $aChurch and state$zSpain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aNation-building$zSpain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aNational characteristics, Spanish 606 $aGroup identity$zSpain 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yGothic period, 414-711 607 $aSpain$xEthnic relations$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aSpain$xCivilization$yTo 711 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVisigoths$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory 615 0$aNation-building$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, Spanish. 615 0$aGroup identity 676 $a946/.01 700 $aWood$b Jamie P.$f1978-$0897183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462074603321 996 $aThe politics of identity in Visigoth Spain$92004500 997 $aUNINA
