I would like to purchase these two books together. ① "Kyoyo to shite no Latin-go no Jugyo: Kodai Roma ni Manabu Liberal Arts no Genryu" (Latin Lessons as a Liberal Art: Learning the Origins of Liberal Arts from Ancient Rome) Han Dong-il / Nobuko Okazaki / Ryoji Homura Price: ¥1800 + tax ② Hiroshi Murakami Latin World History (Chikuma Shinsho 1860) Price: ¥1050 + tax Even if the Roman Empire falls, Latin does not die. How it became the foundation of Western culture. Approaching the mysterious fate of the "world's strongest language." Latin, which was merely a regional language of Italy, spread throughout the world as the official language of the Roman Empire, and even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it formed a universal official language status in connection with Christianity. However, it eventually lost its position as a major language and became a "liberal arts" language, reaching the present day. How did Latin, which reigned for a long time in history, spread and survive? The struggle for hegemony with Greek, the honeymoon with Christianity, the replacement with modern vernacular languages of each country—approaching the extraordinary fate of the "world's strongest language" that has spanned over 2,000 years.
