The Latin Grammarians

The Latin Grammarians are scholars who studied, analyzed, and compiled Latin language rules, texts, and grammar during the early centuries of Christianity and the Middle Ages. Their work aimed to preserve, standardize, and teach Latin, which was the scholarly and liturgical language of Europe for centuries. They created reference guides, grammar books, and commentaries that helped ensure Latin’s correct usage and understanding. Their contributions laid the foundation for Latin studies, influencing linguistic traditions and education systems long after Latin ceased to be a spoken language.
