1. The problem : parameters of identity in Visigothic Spain -- 2. Isidore of Seville's de fide catholica contra Iudaeos -- 3. Isidore's attitude towards Judaism -- 4. Isidore's position on contemporary Jewish policies -- 5. Conclusion
Drews (history, U. of Cologne) has enlarged and revised his 2001 Ph. D. dissertation in Medieval history at Freie Universitat, Berlin, Juden und Judentum bei Isidor von Sevilla. Studiun zum Traktat De fide catholica contra Iudaeos, published by Duncker and Hublot, Berlin. It focuses mainly on one of Spanish bishop Isidore's (d. 636) theological texts, the treatise on Catholic faith against the Jews, first analyzing his exegetical methods, then setting the results of his exegesis into the context of his theological and political views
"This book provides a detailed analysis of Isidore of Seville's attitude towards Jews and Judaism. Starting out from his anti-Jewish work De fide catholica contra Indaeos, the author puts Isidore's argument into the context of his entire literary production. Furthermore, he explores the place of Isidore's thinking within the contemporary situation of Visigothic Spain, investigating the political functionalization of religion, most particularly the forced baptisms ordered by King Sisebut, whose advisor Isidore was thought to have been. It becomes clear that Isidore's primary goal is to produce a new 'Gothic' identity for the recently established Catholic 'nation' of Visigothic Spain; to this end he used anti-Jewish stereotypes inherited from the tradition of Catholic anti-Judaism."--Jacket
