		SISEBUT, si's6-but: Successor of Gundemar (Gunthemar) as king of the Visigoths; d.
		He ascended the throne in 612, and was an excellent ruler in moat respects, clement, just, and of a glowing religious devotion, distinguished also as an author and as a hero in war.
		That there were many compulsory baptisms of Jews, there is no doubt, and so the third edict conjectured by Joat--presumably without justification-compelling them to choose between exile and baptism, is not necessary to explain the numerous departures of Jews from the country.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - St. Isidore of Seville
		In all justice it may be said that it was in a great measure due to the enlightened statecraft of these two illustrious brothers the Visigothic legislation, which emanated from these councils, is regarded by modern historians as exercising a most important influence on the beginnings of representative government.
		The "De natura rerum" a manual of elementary physics, was composed at the request of King Sisebut, to whom it is dedicated.
		It is one of Isidore's best known books and enjoyed a wide popularity during the Middle Ages.

	Re: forced conversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the Visigothic realm in Gaul and Iberia, King Sisebut (611-620) imposed forced baptisms on Jews.
		Isidore of Seville and others spoke out against this (although perhaps not until Sisebut was safely dead), and in 633 at the Fourth Council of Toledo the assembled bishops condemned past forceful conversions and forbade any future forced conversions (canon 57).
		Nevertheless they required that persons forcefully converted in the past be constrained to remain Christians, lest the sacraments they had received be profaned and the Christian faith be regarded with contempt (canon 57).

		With the Germanic invasion came the Vandals, who established themselves here, to be followed by the Visigoths when the Vandals passed over into Africa.
		When Athanagild called the Byzantines to his aid, he gave them as a compensation the most southerly portion of Andalusia, but Leovigild Suintila, and Sisebut succeeded in reuniting it to the monarchy of the Visigoths.
		Under the rule of the Emirs, subordinates of the Caliph of Damascus, and in the time of the Caliphate of Cordova, Andalusia was the centre of the political life and literary and artistic culture of the Arab people.

		BARTLETT, Peter, CORES URIA, Gonzalo and CORES, María Cruz: The use of dots as control marks in coin legends at the Visigothic mint of Ispali during reign of Sisebut (612-621).
		Dots were often placed by Visigothic die engravers in the legends of coins commonly to substitute for letters.
		In a die study of coins of Ispali produced during the reign of Sisebut it was found that the legends were always complete yet dots were common in both the obverse and reverse legends.

		The wealth which they accumulated by trade and the management of the finances invited the pious avarice of their masters; and they might be oppressed without danger, as they had lost the use, and even the remembrance, of arms.
		Sisebut, a Gothic king who reigned in the beginning of the seventh century, proceeded at once to the last extremes of persecution.
		Ninety thousand Jews were compelled to receive the sacrament of baptism; the fortunes of the obstinate infidels were confiscated, their bodies were tortured, and it seems doubtful whether they were permitted to abandon their native country.

		But before describing this phenomenon Sisebut first rejected the superstitious explanation which the people gave for the eclipse.
		They thought, he said, that as the caves grew dark, the moon was being drawn beneath the shades of the lower world by the wailing of the "dreadful woman" and when "its high-wandering mirror was veiled" it passed like a mortal into the waters of the river Styx.
		Sisebut then [139] proceeded to give in verse the same scientific explanation of the lunar eclipse that Isidore had given in his De natura rerum.

		After the overthrow of the Vandals by Belisarius in 534, Justinian I issued his edict of persecution, in which the Jews were classed with the Arians and heathens.
		In the seventh century the Jewish population was largely augmented by Spanish immigrants, who, fleeing from the persecutions of the Visigothic king Sisebut and his successors, escaped to Mauritania and settled in the Byzantine cities.
		These settlers, according to the Arabic historians, mingled with the Berber population and converted many powerful tribes, which continued to profess Judaism until the reign of the founder of the Idrisid dynasty.

	Jewish Policy in Visigothic Spain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sisebut mandated that this policy had to be initiated by the first of July 612, and Jews who still possess slaves thereafter, the state would then forcibly remove their slaves and take possession of half of their property.
		It is also notable that Sisebut could have freed Christian slaves from Jews, so as, to establish a new class of followers, who would support the king in contrast to their former owners and any who wish to oppose him.
		In all, he simply returned to the old tolerant policies of king Reccard I. However, Suinthila’s reign was short lived.

		Nor was the fate of these Jews at all comparable to that of their co-religionists in Visigothic Spain after the conversion to Catholicism of the sovereigns of that country, zealous neophytes who showed themselves to be especially harsh toward the Jews.
		Finally, in 613, the Visigothic king Sisebut obliged them to be baptized.
		However, even if the situation in Gaul was less grave than in Spain, where Christianity was newly triumphant, the appearance of Islam and the ensuing Arab conquest led to a deterioration of the Jewish condition under the Merovingians in the seventh to eighth centuries.

		They could not fail of deplorable results, as was seen when Sisebut ascended the throne in 612 and signalized the commencement of his reign by a forcible conversion of all the Jews of the kingdom.
		What means he adopted we are not told, but of course they were violent, which St. Isidor mildly reproves, seeing that conversion ought to be sincere, but which yet he holds to be strictly within the competence of the Church.
		Whatever may have been the extent and the success of Sisebut's measures, the Jews soon afterwards reappear, and they and the conversos became the subject of an unintermittent series of ecclesiastical and secular legislation which shows that the policy so unfortunately adopted could only have attained its end by virtual extermination.

		The Jews have not been, since the dispersion, a martial, combative race, but their history shows in them abundant power to smite when they have chosen to do so.
		When the Visigothic king, Sisebut, opened for them the chapter of persecution in the Spanish peninsula, they revenged themselves by smoothing energetically the path of the invading Moors.
		On Palm-Sunday at Toledo, while the people went in procession to church outside the walls, the Jews secretly admitted the Saracens into the city, joined their host, and fell upon the Christians with the sword as they were returning home.

		Die bedeutendste Schrift in der Reihe der naturwissenschaftlichen Werke ist die für König Sisebut geschriebene "Etymologiae" (auch "Origines" genannt; um 630 abgeschlossen), die I.s Schüler und Freund Braulio in zwanzig Bücher einteilte und herausgab.
		Wie in den "Etymologiae" nimmt I. auch in der Sisebut dedizierten Schrift "De natura rerum" eine knappe Darstellung der Naturereignisse vor.
		In gewisser Hinsicht wird diese Arbeit ergänzt durch "De ordine creaturarum", ein Werk, das ebenfalls ausführlich auf die Welt des Geistigen und der materiellen Sprache eingeht.

		It was Sisebut's poetic response to his spiritual master Bishop Isidore of Seville, who devoted his book De natura rerum to the king.
		Recchia sees here a reflection of the same conflict between inner inclination to contemplative life and the necessity to be an active ruler which can be found in the works of Pope Gregory the Great.
