Versus. Cura et studio J.M. Sánchez Martín.
Brepols, Turnhout, 2000. 274p. Original terra-cotta gilt titled cloth. Cover vaguely mottled. Small sticker glued to paste-down endpaper. Still a nice copy. Series: Series: Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina, CXIII A. ‘It is rare in this current scholarly climate of extreme caution for anyone to claim that something is a definitive study of anything. Bold though I may be, I would like to make an exception to that practice here: José Maía Sánchez Martín’s edition, translation, and extensive study of the ‘Versus’ of Isidore of Seville is the definitive study of the poetic work of this Spanish bishop, and no doubt will long remain so. Any future examination of these short texts will necessarily be reactions to or modifications of positions taken here.’ 9LUCY K. PICK in The Journal of Medieval Latin, 2003, p.284).
