An encyclopedist of the dark ages: Isidore of Seville
Brehaut, Ernest
Isidore, of Seville, Saint, -636; Thesis (Ph. D.)
That Isidore felt the need of an adjustment of this plan to the
Christian scheme of things is to be perceived in the statement with
which he accompanies it, that the Scriptures are made up of the three
kinds of philosophy, natural, moral, and rational; and in the further
statement that Christian scholars asserted the claims of Christian
doctrine (_theorica_) to take the place of rational or logical
philosophy.[368]
