This article aims to provide a general overview on the Latin grammatical tradition in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages focusing on the distinctive features of the grammatical works produced in each period. The purpose of grammatical teaching and the attitude towards the Latin language were changed after the establishment and expansion of Christianity as the official religion of Western Europe. In Antiquity the grammatical instruction was regarded as the preparatory work for the rhetorical composition and the correct interpretation of literary works. When the Latin language has become the language of the Church, there arose an urgent need to reshape the traditional Latin grammars into the grammars suitable for Christian students. At the same time, Latin had to be learned by the students all over the Western Europe who had almost no knowledge of the language. These kinds of situation led to the development of Latin grammars with much more emphasis on the formal aspects of the language. In the early ninth century,scholars and teachers began to investigate the Latin language per se and they found a way of integrate grammar and dialectics through the medium of definition. Thus the Latin grammars and grammatical commentaries of the early Middle Ages successfully paved the way for more theoretical grammatical expositions from the twelfth century onwards.
Abstract
This article aims to provide a general overview on the Latin grammatical tradition in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages focusing on the distinctive features of the grammatical works produced in each period. The purpose of grammatical teaching and the attitude towards the Latin language were changed after the establishment and expansion of Christianity as the official religion of Western Europe. In Antiquity the grammatical instruction was regarded as the preparatory work for the rhetorical composition and the correct interpretation of literary works. When the Latin language has become the language of the Church, there arose an urgent need to reshape the traditional Latin grammars into the grammars suitable for Christian students. At the same time, Latin had to be learned by the students all over the Western Europe who had almost no knowledge of the language. These kinds of situation led to the development of Latin grammars with much more emphasis on the formal aspects of the language. In the early ninth century,scholars and teachers began to investigate the Latin language per se and they found a way of integrate grammar and dialectics through the medium of definition. Thus the Latin grammars and grammatical commentaries of the early Middle Ages successfully paved the way for more theoretical grammatical expositions from the twelfth century onwards.
