'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 ...
