Among the writers of the VI-VII century . the Bishop of Seville Isidore (570 - 638 AD.) ) has a special place, comparable to the place of Augustine in the culture of the IV-V centuries. Isidor's activity is directly related to the policy of strengthening Spanish statehood, which was carried out by the Visigothic kingdom after the refusal of King Rekkareda from Arianism (587 AD). ) and the adoption by the Visigoths of the Roman Catholic confession. This policy required the ideological consolidation of society, and the Bishop of Seville undertook the task of systematizing all then known knowledge and presenting it in a form understandable to his contemporaries. His work acquired great historical significance for the whole of the late Middle Ages, becoming the main source of education for a number of generations and thereby largely determining the intellectual outlook of medieval man and the methods of his thinking. 85
