Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Edition Not Defined. On the cataloguing page it talks about "this edition" but does not say which edition it is other than to say it was financed with the assistance of the French Ministry of Culture. How Latin was forced by the Humanists of the 16th century on…education and by the Catholic Church on its members, as its liturgical language. On the dust jacket: "At the same time it was less than a language, for few individuals even among the clergy, even among the most learned scholars, have ever managed to speak it with any degree of correctness or fluency, let alone elegance. And such people became even rarer with the passage of time. Yet countless children and adolescents underwent, until quite recently, what can only be called years misery in the name of the 'language of Cicero', and few of them even in adult life questioned their parents' and teachers' view that Latin, among other things, sound judgment and 'character'". Introduction of Latin Language.

Paperback. Condition: New. Though not without its rivals, Latin stood at the apex of Western culture from the Renaissance until relatively recently. Francoise Waquet offers an enthralling, original history of the language's uses, its detractors and defenders, and the social hierarchies its practitioners inscribed. Granted a new…lease of life by the Humanists and the Catholic Church, Latin was the form in which generations of schoolchildren were taught to read, millions of people worshipped, and an international community of scholars communicated with one another. It conveyed sacredness, but also obscenity; learning, as well as pedantry; science, but also trickery and mumbo-jumbo. Few individuals even among the clergy or the most learned scholars have ever managed to speak it with any degree of correctness or fluency, let alone elegance. Why, despite rationalist criticisms that Latin was inaccessible to the great majority of people, and inconvenient and time-consuming for the rest, did it maintain such a strong presence - some would say a tyranny - for so long.

Paperback. Condition: New. Described in Donald Sassoon's new foreword as 'the essential text mapping out the grandeur and decline of Latin', Waquet's classic study traces the language's changing role in Western culture from the Renaissance to the rise of the vernacular in the modern Catholic Church. Among the topics discussed ar…e Latin's dominance in school curricula, the social cachet that it acquired and scholars' varying levels of competence in writing and speaking it.
