Obispos y monasterios en la Edad Media: trayectorias personales, organización eclesiástica y dinámicas materiales
Ver Livro
In recent years the concept of ‘identity’ has gained a prominent position in historiographic studies. The search for definitions of specific terms, such as natio, patria and regnum in late-antiquity sources has led to research into the concept of gens/gentes. The concept of gens/gentes is loaded with double meaning, unitary in the singular and factional in the plural, and has a connotation of ‘noble identities’ that reinforces the idea of the shaping of a ‘supranational’ institution competing with royalty itself. In this study, we will analyse the construction of ‘noble identity’ in the Hispano-Visigothic kingdom of Toledo based on the writings of Isidore of Seville (560?-636).
