| Summary: | Introduction : the Isidore-moment, the Liber Iudiciorum, and the schools thesis -- In the beginning : the historyof the historiography of Isidore -- Origins and histories : creating new chains of signification -- The historical Lacunae and Damnatio[nes] Memoriae of the Hispana -- Pinnacle and twilight : the Liber Iudiciorum and the "historical" fulfillment of the Isidore-moment -- Conclusion. "Isidore of Seville and the "Liber Iudiciorum" establishes a novel framework for re-interpreting the Liber Iudiciorum (LI), the law-code issued in Toledo by the Visigothic king Recceswinth (649/653-672) in 654. The LI was a manifestation of a vibrant dialectical situation, particularly between two networks of authority, Isidore-Seville and Toledo-Agali, a defining characteristic of the discourse coloring the fabric of writing in Hispania, c. 600-660. To more fully imagine the meaning, significance and purposes of the LI, this book elicits this cooperative competition through a series of four case-studies on writing in the period. In addition to offering an alternative historiography for the LI, this book expands the corpus of "Visigothic Literature" and introduces what the author refers to as "Gothstalgie.""-- |
