This book investigates the role of the Latin language as a vehicle for science and learning from several angles. First, the question what was understood as "science" through time and how it is named in different languages, especially the Classical ones, is approached. Criteria for what did pass as scientific are found that point to ?science? as a kind of Greek Denkstil based on pattern-finding and their unbiased checking. In a second part, a brief diachronic panorama introduces schools of thought and authors who wrote in Latin from antiquity to the present. Latin?s heydays in this function are clearly the time between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Some niches where it was used longer are examined and reasons sought why Latin finally lost this lead-role. A third part seeks to define the peculiar characteristics of scientific Latin using corpus linguistic approaches. As a result, several types of scientific writing can be identified. The question of how to transfer science from one linguistic medium to another is never far: Latin inherited this role from Greek and is in turn the ancestor of science done in the modern vernaculars. At the end of the study, the importance of Latin science for modern science in English becomes evident.

Revue électronique traitant de l'ensemble des questions liées à l'écriture et la littérature latine dans la Rome antique. Il s’agit de replacer le corpus scripturaire par rapport à ses enjeux de production en le réinsérant dans ses conditions d’apparition, de reconstituer le statut de l’auteur vis-à-vis de sa propre production, de définir les mécanismes de relecture/réécriture par rapport aux œuvres, et de mettre en évidence les théorisations, implicites et explicites, dont ces textes ont fait l’objet. L’origine de la revue correspond à la formation du Groupe de recherche Ars scribendi, diachronie des formes et genres littéraires dans le monde romain, qui était rattaché à l’École normale supérieure Lettres et sciences humaines de Lyon et à l’Université de Paris VII.

This volume presents a collection of articles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud the most important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and appears in a new series, Cambridge Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.
