Abstract

The article examines Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636) notions on the priesthood of the bishop. The associated concepts of sacerdos and pontifex organized the views of the prelate of Seville on the role of bishop in the life of society and the state. An analysis of these concepts demonstrates that it was the bishop’s priesthood perfection that determined its special status and leading role in the Kingdom of Toledo in the first third of the 7^th century. Just as sacerdos he embodied an idea of unity that underlay in the ideology of this state formation.
