A 1912 historiographical thesis, summarizing literature thereto and essaying a first English translation of assorted fragments, chiefly selected as per the epoch ́s political interests. "The writer of the following pages undertook, at the suggestion of Professor James Harvey Robinson, to translate passages from Isidore’s Etymologies which should serve to illustrate the intellectual condition of the dark ages." (First words of the book - N.E.: Translation is unsure and quite often improper).
