Spanish clergyman. Born into a distinguished family in Seville, he lost his parents at a young age. He was educated at the monastery of his brother Leander (?-599/601), a monk who had traveled to the East and became acquainted with the future Pope Gregory I in Constantinople. Isidore also succeeded his brother as bishop of Seville around 600, and worked hard to spread Catholicism in Spain under Visigothic rule, convert Jews, build schools and churches, and hold church councils. His wide-ranging knowledge was well known during his lifetime, and his books were frequently used throughout the Middle Ages as a treasure trove of various knowledge, especially his Etymologiae , which provided encyclopedic information on the various academic disciplines of the time. His Sententiarum Libri Tres (Collection of Propositions) is a manual of Christian doctrine and practice, his De Ecclesiasticis Officis is a valuable source on the liturgy and organization of the Spanish Church , his historia regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum (Historia regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum ) are indispensable sources of contemporary Spanish history.

スペインの聖職者。セビーリャの名家に生まれたが、若くして親に死別。修道士の兄レアンデルLeander(?―599/601)のいた修道院で教育を受けたが、この兄は、東方に旅行しコンスタンティノープルでは後の教皇グレゴリウス1世と知己となるなど、広い知見の持ち主で、セビーリャの司教をも務めた。イシドルスもまた600年ごろ兄の後を継いでこの地の司教となり、西ゴート人支配下のスペインでカトリシズムの拡大、ユダヤ教徒の改宗、学校や教会の建設、教会会議の開催に尽力した。その広い学識は生前からよく知られ、著書はさまざまな知識の宝庫として中世を通じて頻繁に利用されたが、とくに『語源論』Etymologiaeは当時の諸学問についての百科全書的情報を提供している。また『命題集3巻』Sententiarum Libri Tresはキリスト教の教義や実践の手引書であり、『教会職務論』De Ecclesiasticis Officisはスペイン教会の典礼と組織についての貴重な資料となっている。史書には『大年代記』Chronica Majoraと『ゴート、バンダルおよびスエビ諸王の歴史』Historia regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorumがあり、同時代のスペインの不可欠の史料となっている。 [今野國雄 2017年11月17日] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
