      I’ve worked with Latin a lot, and am doing so presently, but what it seems like he’s doing here, trying to sacralize the language itself into a font of meaning/identify, is dumb language and consciousness are fragmentary by nature; when we append this we only breed ignorance

      a common intellectual tongue seems like a great idea, but is limited in its function/scope, particularly when that tool becomes removed from your own existence or: “caelum sursum et terra deorsum et cor regum inscrutabile”

      Isn't limiting scope intentional? Like: part of the signal cast by users of scholastic latin is "I don't need to even address the kinds of mundane subjects I don't know the words to describe in this dead language"

      I think medieval schoolmen could use Latin in everyday conversation. They used it with classmates at school and often had jobs as scribes transcribing more mundane material. They also travelled more than many of their contemporaries. Of course all those things signal status too.

      This is a good point. I think what I had in mind was more the use by rennaissance era alchemists, who had a more limited familiarity & lived in a time when lots of things invented since the fall of rome required awkward neoligisms anyhow.

      Which goes back to eigenrobots original point that the use of the vernacular in education destroyed an international Latin culture that was actually kind of cool. That Dante man, what a jackass!

      Yeah the Latin Quarter of Paris was so called because students were obliged to speak Latin there even outside of class

          What are they going to do, learn Parisian French? That's just another lame dialect of "peasant" that only became popular because the King of France spoke it. But in the 13th century who even is the King of France, and who cares?
