Abstract
The views of Isidore of Seville on predestination are described based mainly on the thirtieth chapter of the second book of his De differentiis verborum and the sixth chapter of the third book of his Sententiae. A comparative analysis of the texts of Isidore with their sources follows. As a result, the author of this article refutes earlier argumentation claiming that Isidore’s teaching on predestination contained nothing new but was totally lifted from that of Fulgentius of Ruspe and Gregory the Great. The author on the contrary points out the original elements in Isidore’s teaching.
