Beschreibung
The book gives the first complete English translation of the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, the main resource of learning in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. A fundamental repository of classical and early medieval knowledge, the Etymologies explores and examines hundreds of subjects, from the names of God to cooking utensils. This highly-readable translation of all twenty books of the Etymologies gives the student of late classical antiquity, medieval thought and the history of Western thought access to one of the key texts of the last one thousand years.
