John Of SevilleEdit

Could you confirm which John of Seville you have in mind? The name can refer to more than one historical figure from Seville, and there are scholarly debates about identity, dates, and works. If you can provide approximate dates, a notable work, or a context (jurist, chronicler, translator, etc.), I can write a precise encyclopedia article.

If you’d prefer, I can proceed with a general, broadly sourced survey of Ioannes Hispalensis (the Latin name often rendered as John of Seville), noting the principal attributions, the uncertainties about his identity, and his influence on later medieval thought. I can also shape the piece to reflect a contemporary, traditionally-minded perspective on Western intellectual history and the reception of classical learning in medieval Europe, while explaining the main controversies from that viewpoint.
