Following the Physiologus, Saint Isidore of Seville ( Book XII of the Etymologiae ) and Saint Ambrose expanded the religious message with reference to passages from the Bible and the Septuagint.

Saint Isidore of Seville, one of the greatest scholars of the early Middle Ages, is widely recognized as being the author of the first known encyclopedia of the Middle Ages, the Etymologiae or Origines ( around 630 ), in which he compiled a sizable portion of the learning available at his time, both ancient and modern.

The encyclopedia has 448 chapters in 20 volumes, and is valuable because of the quotes and fragments of texts by other authors that would have been lost had they not been collected by Saint Isidore.

Saint Isidore of Seville ( Spanish: or, Latin: ) ( c. 560 – 4 April 636 ) served as Archbishop of Seville for more than three decades and is considered, as the historian Montalembert put it in an oft-quoted phrase, " the last scholar of the ancient world ".

* An elder brother, Saint Leander of Seville, immediately preceded Saint Isidore as Archbishop of Seville and, while in office, opposed king Liuvigild.

Saint Isidore applied himself to study diligently enough that he quickly mastered at least a pedestrian level of Latin, a smattering of Greek, and some Hebrew.

After the death of Saint Leander of Seville on 13 March 600 or 601, Saint Isidore succeeded to the See of Seville.

Saint Isidore recognized that the spiritual and material welfare of the people of his See depended on assimilation of remnant Roman and ruling barbarian cultures ; he consequently attempted to weld the peoples and subcultures of the Visigothic kingdom into a united nation.

Saint Isidore introduced Aristotle to his countrymen long before the Arabs studied Greek philosophy extensively.

In 619, Saint Isidore of Seville pronounced anathema against any ecclesiastic who in any way should molest the monasteries and children.

Saint Isidore presided over the Second Council of Seville, begun on 13 November 619, in the reign of King Sisebut.

The aged Archbishop Saint Isidore presided over its deliberations and originated of most enactments of the council.

Saint Isidore used this opportunity to serve his country greatly.

Through his influence, this Council of Toledo promulgated a decree, commanding all bishops to establish seminaries in their cathedral cities along the lines of the cathedral school at Seville, which educated Saint Isidore decades earlier.

Saint Isidore attempted to compile a summa of universal knowledge.

Saint Isidore of Seville died on 4 April 636 after serving more than three decades as archbishop of Seville.

Saint Isidore wrote a total of 1640 Spanish words in his surviving works.

The University of Dayton has named their implementation of the Sakai Project in honor of Saint Isidore.
