Up to now, researches about the content of the work and its distribution have explained its structure according to considerations that it could be called “external”, as they are based on general ideas around text genre or logic. However, I aim to offer an “internal” explanation of such a structure based on its conceptual content. The hypothesis holds, then, that the basis for articulating the entire work is the definition of “man” that Isidore develops in Diff. II.13, as well as its place on the chain of beings (Diff. II.16). Indeed, the special position of the human being, who is considered both by Isidore and by his sources as a universal creature intermediate between God (pure intellectual spirit) and material beings lacking reason, is of capital importance for understand and structure the work.  \n\nEl presente artículo versa sobre la estructura del tratado isidoriano llamado Liber differentiarum II (Diff. II). Hasta el momento, los trabajos acerca del contenido de la obra y su distribución han explicado su estructura según consideraciones que podríamos llamar “externas”, en tanto se basan en ideas generales en relación con el género o la lógica del texto. En contraste con ello, el objetivo de este estudio es ofrecer una explicación “interna” de tal estructura, una fundada en su contenido conceptual. Nuestra hipótesis sostiene, pues, que la base para articular el texto entero es la definición de “hombre” que Isidoro desarrolla en Diff. II.13, así como su lugar en la escala de seres (Diff. II.16). En efecto, la posición especial del ser humano, que es considerado tanto por Isidoro como por sus fuentes como una creatura universal intermedia entre Dios (espíritu intelectual puro) y los seres materiales carentes de razón, es de capital importancia para la comprensión y consecuente estructuración de la obra. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9378 10.34096/petm.v41.n2.9378 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9378/8213 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9378/8224 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 41 No 2 (2020); 103-116 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 41 Núm. 2 (2020); 103-116 2683-9636 0325-2280 Isidore of Seville Augustine differentiae Late Antiquity Chain of Being Isidoro de Sevilla Agustín Antigüedad tardía differentiae Escala de Seres The Definition of “man” and the Structure of the Liber differentiarum II of Isidore of Seville La definición de “hombre” y la estructura del Liber differentiarum II de Isidoro de Sevilla info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=9378_oai
