This is a history of Latin between the 16th and 20th centuries, a
period when the language dominated the civic and sacred worlds of
Europe and, arguably, the entire Western world. The book explores
the institutional contexts in which the language was adopted and
transmitted, as well as the privilege it came to confer on those
that studied it. Waquet demonstrates how Latin became a symbol of
status and ultimately shows that, rather than disappearing, this
has given way to a nostalgic exoticism such that water companies
and car models now use Latin names.
