Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Ecclesiastical Latin, Vol. 5
Ecclesiastical Latin may be defined as the form which the Latin language assumed in the hands of the Fathers of the Western Church and Of their successors up to the time of the revival of learning.
The book is divided into two parts: first, a summary of such syntactical rules as are necessary for the understanding of the works of these writers, with an explanation of the points in which Ecclesiastical Latin differs from Classical Latin: secondly, a selec tion of passages taken from the works of some of the principal authors of the period with notes drawing the attention of the student to the appropriate sections of the syntax.
The syntax has been treated on broad lines, and no attempt has been made to trace all the peculiarities of the countless writers of Ecclesiastical Latin who represent so many different countries and degrees of culture.
