Ortelius confuses him with his brother Ioannes (abt.1110-1185). It is Ioannes, not Isaac who was a "secretarius grammaticus" who wrote "Chiliades" (Ort203,222) (=Thousands), also known as the "Book of Histories", a long poem of 12674 lines of 15 syllables each, containing many inaccurate facts. It serves as a commentary on his letters to his friends, and contains quotes from more than 400 authors. Tzetzes also comments on Lycophron (Ort161,190,191,192,224). He quotes Hellicanus (Ort216).

Isidorus Hispalensis, (abt. 570-636) of Sevilla, Spain, bishop and later Saint, was an important link between the learning of classical antiquity and the Middle Ages. He tried to keep the knowledge of the ancient world alive at an unpropitious time. The most famous of his writings was an encyclopedia of arts and sciences in twenty books called "Etymologiæ" or "Origines", a work of the same sort as, but superior to, that of Martianus Capella. It was in widespread use for the following 600 years and dealt with the seven liberal arts as well as geography, law, medecine, natural history, food and drink. He cites Plautus (Ort196).
