Abstract
ABSTRACT: At the end of the «Renotatio Isidori», Braulio of Zaragoza mentions Isidore of Seville's fight against the heresy of the Acephali. In the text of the manuscripts the last sentence («eam adseruit veritatem») is commonly accepted as corrupt; it was rightly printed between «cruces desperationis» in the most recent critical edition. This paper proposes reading «sanctam» for «eam», which may have arisen through the misinterpretation of the common abbreviation «ꭇcam». The expression «sancta veritas» is regularly used by Late Antique and Early Medieval authors to refer to Holy Scripture and its catholic, orthodox interpretation.
