The author argues that the tension in Isidore of Seville's thought is a product of the ambivalence (if not confusion) that characterized his approach to the sphericity of the earth. This is an issue on which scholarly opinion has been sharply divided. According to one school of thought, Isidore clearly understood the heavens to be spherical but tended to view the earth that occupied its center as a disk. According to the contrary and, the author thinks, now prevailing opinion, Isidore could not possibly have thought the earth to be flat.
