The rite used in Spain, and in what later became Portugal, from about the 6th to the latter part of the 11th century. It is known also as
- Gothic, due to its development during the time of the Visigothic Kingdom of Spain
- Toletan, from Toledo which was its center
- Isidorian, because it probably received a revision by Saint Isidore of Seville
It is of common origin and of nearly identical construction with the Gallican Rite, and is still used in Mass and Office by a college of chaplains at Toledo, in a chapel of the cathedral.
