  • Summary

  • Looking for a historical and ecclesiastical framework by which to understand performance decisions about the pronunciation of Latin? Join Dr. John Pepino as he explains the origins of the Latin language and how we know anything about the pronunciation of classical Latin, describes the style and handing on of the golden age of Latin, discusses the relationship between St. Jerome's Vulgate and the Vetus Latina editions, demonstrates the pronunciation of Latin in various European pronunciations of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and clarifies the Vatican's position on the issue.

    Two books are recommended for further reading:

    • W. Sydney Allen, Vox Latina: A Guide to the Pronunciation of Classical Latin
    • F. Brittain, Latin In Church: The History of Its Pronunciation
