That same Council of Elvira was the first in the history of the Church to ordain the celibacy of the secular clergy, and its thirty-third canon forbade the bishops, priests, and deacons of the peninsula to live as husbands with their wives. In the year 591, the first Synod of Toledo, over which Bishop Leander presided, SPAIN BEFORE THE MOORISH INVASION 231 enacted various canons which give some interesting side- lights on the times. It appears that ecclesiastics had already been forbidden to ke...ep women servants in their houses, but the rule was so often disregarded that it was enacted that in the future, as a punishment for such intractable churchmen, their servants should be sold as slaves and the proceeds handed over to some charitable organization. In just what way this punishment was to affect the clergy, beyond causing them temporary annoyance, it is difficult to understand, but there is no doubt as to the fact. In all of the seven centuries preceding the Moorish con- quest of Spain there had been some little progress, so far as the position of women was concerned, but it cannot be said that the advance had been great.
