'At first glance, Nicholas Ostler?s Ad Infinitum: A Biography of Latin looks like it might belong to the popularizing category. 'Nowadays,' he begins, 'Latin seems a comical language,' and he goes on to refer to Monty Python?s character Biggus Dickus. But this is part of a recusatio - this is not going to be a jokey book, though it entertains as well as edifies and will prove as interesting to the Latinist as to the layman. Refreshingly, this book is serious and scholarly, though it wears its considerable learning lightly, and in a world of increasing Anglophone hegemony and globalization against a backdrop of the rapid extinction of thousands of languages, its implications are thought provoking. By calling this history of Latin a 'biography', Ostler personifies his subject; but there is also an inherent contrast in his two-part title. Ad infinitum - to infinity and beyond - suggests that Latin will go on and on; 'biography' not only gives Latin a 'life' but makes Latin mortal, for the definitive biography cannot really be written until near the end of a life. He takes for his subject, the life, the extraordinary career, of Latin over the millennia - language of Empire, of the Church, of scholarship, and of Europe: Where did Latin go right? Like ...

ISBN10: 000734306X, ISBN13: 9780007343065, [publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, London] Softcover Paperback. An in-depth biography of the Latin language from its very beginnings to the present day from the widely acclaimed author of Empires of the Word. The Latin language has been a constant in the cultural history of the West for over two millennia. It has shaped the way we think of ourselves and of our (central) place in the world. It has formed and united us as Europeans, has been the foundation of our education for centuries and defined the way in which we express our thoughts, our faith and our knowledge of the workings of the world. And yet, Latin began life as the cumbersome dialect of a small southern Italian city-state.Its active use lasted three times as long as Rome's Empire and its use echoes on in the law codes of half the world, in terminologies of biology and medicine, and until forty years ago in the litany of the Catholic Church, the most populous form of Christianity.In Ad Infinitum, Nicholas Ostler examines the reasons why Latin made such a long-lasting impact on language, and how it managed to stay alive for two millennia despite the cultural superiority of Greek. He will look at how Latin's sturdy roots remained untouched while empires rose and fell, the influence of religion, war and the ways it has progressed through medieval times right up until the present day. An in-depth biography of the Latin language from its very beginnings to ...
