Drews (history, U. of Cologne) has enlarged and revised his 2001 Ph. D. dissertation
in Medieval history at Freie Universitat, Berlin, Juden und Judentum bei Isidor von
Sevilla. Studiun zum Traktat De fide catholica contra Iudaeos, published by Duncker
and Hublot, Berlin. It focuses mainly on one of Spanish bishop Isidore's (d. 636)
theological texts, the treatise on Catholic faith against the Jews, first analyzing
his exegetical methods, then setting the results of his exegesis into the context
of his theological and political views ; "This book provides a detailed analysis of
Isidore of Seville's attitude towards Jews and Judaism. Starting out from his anti-Jewish
work De fide catholica contra Indaeos, the author puts Isidore's argument into the
context of his entire literary production. Furthermore, he explores the place of Isidore's
thinking within the contemporary situation of Visigothic Spain, investigating the
political functionalization of religion, most particularly the forced baptisms ordered
by King Sisebut, whose advisor Isidore was thought to have been. It becomes clear
that Isidore's primary goal is to produce a new 'Gothic' identity for the recently
established Catholic 'nation' of Visigothic Spain; to this end he used anti-Jewish
stereotypes inherited from the tradition of Catholic anti-Judaism."--Jacket
