About this book
The preface says that the writer undertook to translate passages from Isidore’s Etymologies to illustrate the intellectual condition of the dark ages. The preface explains the need for an introduction to the more important subjects and their development at the time when Isidore wrote. The discussion of law describes a combination of elements from different stages of Roman law, with a viewpoint as philological and Christian as legal.
The explanation of forensic rhetoric presents the crucial point in a case as the basis on which an advocate must build a speech. The section on music names three parts and defines one of them by its distinction between high and low sounds.
