In this wooden statue St Isidore of Seville appears as a bishop in a scholarly pose: mitre, staff and a book in his hand. For book lovers and knowledge workers who want a patron on their shelf.
Isidore lived from about 560 in Cartagena until 4 April 636. He was Archbishop of Seville and is a Doctor of the Church. His work Etymologiae gathered the knowledge of antiquity, and he promoted the unity of the Spanish Church. 4 April is his name day. He is regarded as patron of the Diocese of Cartagena-Murcia and the Diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo.
