Notes: This page begins the third book of the Sententiarum of St. Isidore (ca. 560-636), bishop of Seville and one of the Doctors of the Church. The Sententiarum is a collection of theological writings meant to serve as a manual for the clergy. Most of the passages were culled from the works of Gregory the Great and St. Augustine. It is divided into three parts and covers subjects such as creation, the nature of evil, ecclesiastical orders, and the judgment of God. Here the page begins with a list of chapter headings that comprise the third book of the compendium. This manuscript is one of two copies of this text in the Free Library.
