St. Isidore of Sevilla (born c. 560) was a Spanish theologian, archbishop, and encyclopedist and the last of the Western Latin Fathers. His Etymologies, an encyclopedia of human and divine subjects, was for many centuries one of the most important reference books. He was canonized (declared a saint) in 1598 and designated a doctor of the church in 1722.
