Encyclopedia of Isidore

The "Encyclopedia of Isidore" refers to the *Etymologiae*, a comprehensive 7th-century work by Isidore of Seville. It is one of the earliest known encyclopedias, organizing knowledge from classical antiquity into a systematic reference. Covering topics like grammar, medicine, geography, and theology, it aimed to compile and preserve ancient wisdom for educational and practical use. Its clear structure and extensive scope influenced medieval learning and shaped the way knowledge was categorized and transmitted throughout the Middle Ages.
