eference is also made to characters such as Loth, Susanna, Solomon and Anianas and Saphira. 425 Generally, the quotations and references should be seen not necessarily as literary tropes, but rather as educational devices, serving to support the teachings of the monastic rules, and also no doubt to impart knowledge of the Bible. 4.11 Patristic Borrowings The authors of the monastic rules also freely draw upon earlier sources, nominally the Church Fathers, throughout their writings. The Rule of Isidore has received the most in- depth studies regarding its sources and borrowings (Díaz y Díaz 1963; Susín Alcubierre 1967), perhaps because of the overall importance of its author, although it has also been demonstrated that there exist substantial borrowings between the monastic rule and his De officiis and the Sententiae (Robles 1997: 42-43). Unfortunately, there exist no other writings from Fructuosus to make such a comparison, save two letters. 426 However, what is clear is that all three monastic rules draw upon earlier writings, and borrowing would seem to have been a feature of regular literature. Where they do occur, borrowings are not normally verbatim but rather paraphrased; in discussing Vulgate citations in Augustine, Houghton (2008b) has defined recently the useful terms „primary citation‟ and „secondary citation‟, referring to those taken from a codex and those derived from memory. As might be expected, many of these borrowings are taken from other ascetic literature and Augustine is the most popularly cited, perhaps unsurprisingly so given his the popularity of his writings and the close contacts between Iberia and North Africa in antiquity. However, Jerome in particular is also fairly frequent, as are occasional borrowings from the other Visigothic monastic rules. 424 Common Rule 5. 425 Rule of Fructuosus 6; Common Rule 2, 4. 426 The Epistola ad Braulionem (PL 80, 690-692) and the Epistola ad Recesinthum regem (MGH epist. 3, 688-689). 163
Isidore frequently cites from Augustine, most notably from his De opere monachorum and his Regula ad seruos Dei. For example, De opere monachorum 16.19 Rule of Isidore 5.7 “sic debent et ipsi praeceptis eius “nullus monachus amore priuati operis illigetur obedire, ut compatiantur infirmis, sed omnes in communi laborantes patribus et amore privatae rei non illigati sine obmurmuratione obtemperare debent” manibus suis in commune laborare, praepositis suis sine murmure obtemperare” Regula ad seruos Dei 7 Rule of Isidore 17.1 “ut occulte ab aliqua litteras uel quaelibet “qui occulte ab aliquo litteras uel munuscula accipiat”, quodlibet munus acceperit” Regula ad seruos Dei 3 Rule of Isidore 6.2 “hoc uersetur in corde, “sed hoc meditetur corde, quod psallitur ore” quod profertur in uoce” 164
