Who
Archbishop of Seville from about 600, president of the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633 and the last of the Latin Fathers; a Doctor of the Church since 1722. The Etymologies gathered the learning of antiquity into the encyclopaedia the Middle Ages read most, and On the Nature of Things, the Sentences and On Ecclesiastical Offices served bishops and schools for centuries. Aquinas cites the Etymologies for the meaning of names and words.
