The modern study of Classical Latin creates the illusion that it is
a precisely-defined and immutable language; but all living
languages are changing continuously, and Latin was no exception.
Even in the Classical period many varieties of Latin were written
and spoken, and as the Empire collapsed Latin, especially the
spoken language of the common people, evolved. This language,
Vulgar Latin, not the medieval Latin of learned scholars, evolved
further into the Romance languages. This book traces the
development of Vulgar Latin and will therefore be of interest to
medievalists and students of Romance languages. Charles Hall
Grandgent was a professor at Harvard from 1896 to 1932. He was
highly regarded as a Romance linguist and authority on Dante. He
was also a leading expert on American English dialects.
