CSIC publishes El latín en Europa by Pablo Toribio and Cristina Tur
The Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has published El latín en Europa, a work by Pablo Toribio and Cristina Tur. The book explores the dual history of Latin, tracing its evolution from its classical codification in the late 1st century BCE to its role as a living literary and institutional language.
The authors examine how Latin served as a vehicle for religion, politics, law, philosophy, science, and literature across Europe, spanning from Germanic to Slavic regions. A key factor in its longevity was its institutional adoption by the Roman Catholic Church and its use during the era of Charlemagne to foster a community linked by faith and culture.
While spoken Latin evolved into the Romance languages, the written form remained a standard for university teaching, international communication, and the scientific revolution. The book notes that Latin began to decline in the 18th century following the peak of the Modern Age.
