Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. At the twilight of the ancient world, as Rome's libraries burned and classical learning teetered on extinction, one extraordinary mind embarked on history's greatest rescue mission for human knowledge. Isidore of Seville-bishop, royal counselor, and intellectual visionary-created the world's first encyclopedia, a revolutionary work that would preserve the sum of ancient wisdom for a thousand years.Born into the turmoil of sixth-century Spain where Visigothic warlords battled over Rome's remnants, Isidore rose from refugee origins to become the most influential scholar of the early Middle Ages. His masterwork, the Etymologies, gathered everything from astronomy to zoology in a single volume, creating medieval Europe's internet-a comprehensive reference system that monks, scholars, and kings would rely on for centuries. So profound was his impact that in 1997, Pope John Paul II designated him the patron saint of the internet.This gripping narrative reveals Isidore's dramatic life against the backdrop of a world in transformation. Readers journey from his childhood amid religious persecution to his emergence as the intellectual architect of a new civilization, exploring his pioneering approaches to education, his deft political maneuvering at royal courts, and his creation of revolutionary information systems that would shape European thought until the Renaissance.Drawing on newly translated primary sources and cutting-edge scholarship, this book illuminates not just a remarkable life but an entire era when knowledge itself hung in the balance. Beyond fascinating history, Isidore's story offers striking parallels to our own age of information revolution, revealing how the challenges of organizing human knowledge, navigating technological change, and transmitting cultural heritage transcend time itself.For readers who enjoyed "How the Irish Saved Civilization" or "The Swerve," this captivating biography reveals how one brilliant mind created the intellectual foundation for medieval Europe-and offers unexpected wisdom for our own digital age's information challenges. Isidore's forgotten story reminds us that at history's darkest moments, the preservation of knowledge can be civilization's most radical and enduring act. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798232441173
