oa Los apócrifos en la biblioteca de Isidoro de Sevilla. El testimonio del tratado De ortu et obitu Patrum

The analysis of the treatise De ortu et obitu Patrum reveals that some apocryphal writings were available in Isidore of Seville’s library; this was true at least of a Latin translation of the Greek Vitae prophetarum, a Latin translation of a Greek Index apostolorum discipulorumque, a copy of the so-called Breuiarium Apostolorum, the Priscillianist Prologi Monarchiani, and the apocryphal Latin Acta Petri et Pauli and Acta lohannis. Despite the interdictions of the Roman Church, the Sevillian bishop reads and profits from these apocryphal works, since they are the only sources he can use in order to complete his biographical catalogue of biblical characters.
