Career
He was also a theologian and historian. Maximus also contributed to the Visigothic cultural renaissance of the 6th and 7th centuries, which was continued by such scholars as Isidore of Seville, Eugenio of Toledo and Braulio of Zaragoza. lieutenant has been theorized that he wrote the Chronicles of Zaragoza, a history of that time surviving via a 16th-century manuscript copy, because Isidore of Seville notes that Maximus had written on history.
However, Collins (1980) and Johnson (1993) argue that the Chronicles were not the work of a single author
Maximus was succeeded in his see by John, brother of Braulio of Zaragoza, who was in turn succeeded by Braulio. See, e.g., Collins (1995).
