Isidore of Seville, who not possess neither remotely the Pure Blood of Reccared or Sisebut,
nevertheless he was one of the best instructed and more intelligent man of Spain: his
encyclopedia of twenty tomes «Etymologiae» is a masterwork for the Age, apart from many
books dedicated to the most varied themes; he even wrote a Treatise of Apologetics with the
suggestive title «De fide Catholica against ludeos». However, Isidore professed admiration
with no limits for the history of the Chosen People and considered the Old Testament as the
theological base of Christianity, just as is demonstrated in his treatise of exegetics «Allegoriae
S. Scripturae» where he comments the Hebrew books. This posture guided him to the
contradiction of sustaining in one hand the necessity to fight against Judaism and in the other
to procure the defense of the Jews, to avoid that «any type violence» be put over them. In the
course of the Council, moved by that false «Christian mercy», he tried to retrace the laws of the
Visigoth Kings.
Thanks to the intervention of the Count of Turdes Valter are approved ten canons about
the Jews, but without the rigor of Sisebut's law: was prohibited to the Jews, among other
things, the practice of the usury, the performance of public offices, the mix marriages, was
ordered the dissolution of the existent mixed marriages, and was reaffirmed the prohibition to
maintain Christian slaves.
To evaluate the importance of the adopted resolutions it just has to be noticed that the
Councils of Toledo were National Synods of the Catholic Church, just as to the nobles who were
responsible of the general of the laws, in case that they didn't accomplish with exactitude a
dedication to the dispositions about the Jews.
In that Council of Toledo, the Count of Turdes Valter defended with ardor the cause that
he denominated «Goth-Hispanic Culture», in a moment in which the Pro-Jew faction headed by
the Bishop Isidore seemed to have controlled the dispute. His irruption was decisive: he spake
with such eloquence that achieved to define the majority of the Bishops in favor to take urgent
measures to counteract the «Jewish problem». All were fascinated, specially the noble
Visigoths, when they heard to assure that the «Goth-Hispanic Culture was Oldest of the Earth»,
and that now that invaluable heritage «was threatened by a population enemy of the Spirit, a
population who worshiped Satan in secrecy and counted with their Infernal Power to enslave or
destroy mankind»: Satan had conferred power over the Gold, that they always used to carry out
their uncontestable plans, and «which they surely used to bought the vote of the Bishops that
defended them». This possibility to be at the service of the Jewish Gold took to more than one
Pro-Jew Bishop to shut his mouth and allowed that, finally, the expected measures by the
Count of Turdes Valter were approved. However, such victory was not positive for the House of
Tharsis due to it revealed something that was unnoted by all the world up to that moment: the
attitude that the Count of Turdes Valter was exuded something more than the Catholic zeal,
something alive, something that could only proceed from a Secret Knowledge; from an Occult
Source; the Earl was extremely sure of what he was affirming, was rather categorical in his
conviction, to be a fanatic, to be someone blinded by the faith; it was evident that the Earl
knew what he said, but how much and what did he know? Whither did his Wisdom come?
thence, the House of Tharsis would be observed again by the Enemy: and to the hate of the
Golems would be added now the one of the Chosen People and of some part of the Catholic
Church, who would not stop to pursue the Lord of Tharsis and procure their destruction; since
that moment, even if they would contribute with their riches and members to the
