In his Etymologiae, St Isidore of Seville put together a systematic
survey of the world in the form of a vast thesaurus of Latin
vocabulary, which supplies a more or less accepted or fanciful
etymology for each term. It became one of the most influential
books of European culture through the whole medieval period. This
Latin 'Roget' is traditionally used as a reference work, accessed
through an elaborate index system. In this book Professor
Henderson, the most challenging critic writing on Latin literature
and Roman culture, presents a full reading of all twenty books of
the Etymologiae, showing how the material is sequenced so that its
reader is treated to a thoroughgoing education in the world as it
was apprehended in Jewish, Graeco-Roman and Christian culture. All
Latin, including etymologies, is translated.
