It should prove fascinating not only to Latinists but also to linguists generally and, expecially, to students of Romance languages. Over the years, readers have found that Palmer?s treatment of this so-called dead language reveals Latin?s continuing vitality and "soul." | The Latin Language by Leonard R.
