Saint Isidore of Seville, born around 560 AD in Cartagena, was a Visigothic bishop and scholar whose encyclopedic works preserved classical knowledge through the early Middle Ages. Raised by his saintly siblings—Leander, Fulgentius, and Florentina—after their parents’ early deaths, he succeeded Leander as Bishop of Seville around 600 AD. Over three decades, he unified Spain’s Church, presiding over councils like Toledo IV (633 AD), and combated Arianism while fostering education. His *Etymologiae*, a 20-volume compendium, earned him renown as the “last scholar of the ancient world,” covering theology, science, and history. Isidore died on April 4, 636 AD, after a life of charity, famously giving away his possessions as he lay dying. | Saint Isidore of Seville, born around 560 AD in Cartagena, was a Visigothic bishop and scholar whose encyclopedic works preserved classical knowledge through the early Middle Ages.
