| Sumario: | Isidore of Seville, who died in 636, was the target of veneration throughout the medieval period. However, with the relocation of his relics from Seville to Leon, which took place in 1063, several legends, which systematized and transmitted new information about the Sevillian, began to be composed. Thus, there was anexpansion of the hagiographic memory about the bishop, completed in the first half of the 13th century. In the chapters dedicated to the prelate in the abbreviated legendaries elaborated in the Iberian Peninsula in the second half of this century by the Dominican Rodrigo of Cerrato and the Franciscan John Gil of Zamora, such memories are incorporated. By comparing these two texts, in historiographical perspective, common and particular aspects were identified and analyzed in the light of the production context. The proposed conclusion is that the legendaries give different meanings to the figure of Isidore. While the Cerratense presents the bishop as a saint with a universal profile, the egidian draws a saint with a particular link with the Castilian-Leonese monarchy. |
