Jewish-Christian (dis) connections. Patristic literature Adversus Iudaeos by Bishop Isidore of Seville: Influences of his antisemitism on the posture of Braulio de Zaragoza and the IV Council of Toledo (633), Visigoth Kingdom, 7th Century
Judaism – Isidore of Seville – Braulio of Saragoza – Antisemitism – Visigoth Kingdom
This thesis aims to analyze the productions of Bishop Isidore of Seville and his influence on the posture of his disciple Braulio of Zaragoza against the Jewish community of the Visigoth Kingdom, 7th century. Having presided over the IV Council of Toledo (633), we will also analyze the influence of the Isidorian Adversus Iudaeos narrative on council maxims. In addition to this research, we look for a revisionism with regard to the theoretical apparatus for reading this peculiar historical reality, which are the Jewish-Christian (dis) connections, using the concept of antisemitism. Thus, we will have a support to examine how Imaginary Judaism was discursively erected in which a Jew was forged, aiming, through similes, metaphors, word games, that an entire community and their beliefs should be rejected.
