En torno a la figura de Isidoro en el s. XIII: Lucas de Tuy

This article deals with Isidore of Seville’s influence on the works of the 13th-century author Lucas of Tuy. The three works of this author are precisely related to Isidore: the Chronicon mundi, De altera uita and Miracula sancti Isidori. Concurrently, we need to exclude from this analysis two other works, also about Isidore, which have been attributed to Lucas: the Vita sancti Isidori and Historia translationis sancti Isidori. These works, which are in some manuscripts associated with the Chronicon mundi, are from León and are related to Isidore. This has led scholars to believe that they were written by Lucas of Tuy, but today we know that they preceded him.

In addition we could draw attention to the false prophecy that Lucas attributed to Isidore in a council celebrated in Toledo where, according to this text, he predicted Spain’s future. In this context it makes sense that Lucas attributed this false prophecy to him, considering the importance of the saint in the work of this author.
