 Lesson XX
Latin was very convenient to use because it was commonly understood by all scientists, and was the standard language for international scientific communications.
In law, Latin provides what is, in effect, a shorthand for a large variety of statments, observations, conditions, procedures, defenses, assertions, and so on, that would otherwise require a more detailed specification.
Latin was the usual international scientific language from medieval times in Western Europe, since the use of the vernacular in written language made communication across borders difficult.

 French language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Latin quickly became the lingua franca of the entire Gallic region for both mercantile, official and educational reasons, yet it should be remembered that this was Vulgar Latin, the colloquial dialect spoken by the Roman army and its agents and not the literary dialect of Cicero.
The earliest extant text in French is the Oath of Strasbourg from 842; Old French became a literary language with the chansons de geste that told tales of the paladins of Charlemagne and the heroes of the Crusades.
The French words which have developed from Latin are usually less recognisable than Italian words of Latin origin because as French developed into a separate language from Vulgar Latin, the unstressed Final syllable of many words was dropped or elided into the Following word.

I'm surmising that Latin was once the language of English common law and the Latin phrases found in the practice of law today are simply remnants.
Latin, the language of the Church, reined supreme and permeated all the provinces controlled by the Romans.
Another possible theory that sheds light as to why Latin is such an entrenched language within the law, is that Latin was given even special importance by the Holy Roman Empire.

 Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXIimum Century
The lack of a suffix denotes that the boy (puer) is the subject; the -i ending indicates that the dog (cani) is the indirect object; whilst the -am ending indicates that the food (escam) is the direct object.
Note that, as in Latin, the suffix of the unemphatic conjunction is always appended to the first word after the point at which the conjunction would appear in English.
Proper Latinate comparisons would be odious in Perligata, because they require their first argument to be expressed in the nominative and would themselves have to be indicative.

To simplify the mind-numbingly complex rules of declension and conjugation that govern inflexions in Latin, Perligata treats all user-defined scalar and array variables as neuter nouns of the second declension -- singular for scalars, plural for arrays.
Note that, as in Latin, the suffix of the unemphatic conjunction is always appended to the first word after the point at which the conjunction would appear in English.

 Helena Sousa, Crossing the Atlantic: Globo's Wager in Portugal
Considering also January 1995, as we did for the other channels, SIC broadcast two novelas in the morning, one in the afternoon and two in the evening.Great importance is given to the selection of the last two telenovelas (before and after the main news bulletin of the day).
SIC has very aggressive Marketing and Comercial departments, and, like Globo, its programming strategy is unconditionally designed to maximise audiences.
SIC argued that this was not the best strategy for Globo itself as telenovelas'sactors were over-exposed (often same actors were on the air simultaneously in two channels interpreting different roles).

 Dr. Weevil: Today's Latin Lesson
Sic means "thus, so, in that way", and is the same word scholars and snarky journalists use to quote a misspelled or ungrammatical passage, like Dan Quayle's "potatoes [sic]".
The sic assures the reader that the mistake was made by the person quoted, not the quoting author or his editor.
That's good Latin in itself, but it makes the tyrant singular and nominative (subject), so that it means something like "that's what a tyrant is like" (or "will be like" or "should be like").

 Mellon MS 34
A contemporary copy of the poem occurs in MS 36.8, where a full latinized name for the author is supplied; the text is close to the later copy which occurs in MS 53 of this collection.
The manuscript is linked in several ways to MSS 35 and 36, q.v., and all three were compiled by a single individual, most likely the Johannes Baptista F----- whose surname has been deliberately suppressed, probably by a later owner of the volumes.
MSS 34-36 are comparable in some ways to the other larger collections of traditional, speculative alchemy in the Mellon collection, but they also include practical procedures and are unique in combining to embrace nearly eighty separate items, counting the duplications.

Mellon MS 19 ALCHEMICAL MISCELLANY, in French and Latin London, unsigned, partly dated during June and July 1480 19.1 Arnold of Villanova.
159v, 29.] [19.19: Anonymous, Medicinal and alchemical recipes and procedures, in Latin, not identified.] SUMMARY: It has already been remarked that MS 18 bears a relationship, yet to be determined, to MS 19, and it is conceivable that both were written by a single individual, namely Franciscus de Traversagnis, despite entirely distinct hands.
Its contents combine an extended series of mystical or speculative alchemies, including a number of French translations not noted in the literature consulted, and a long series of wholly practical procedures, demonstrating that interest in one aspect of alchemy did not preclude interest in the other.

Sic in illo quoque Vergilii versu in optimis libris scriptum invenimus: "Aut foliis undam tepidi dispumat aheni." I consonant has the sound of I in the English word _onion_.
In Latin the acute accent means that on the syllable thus accented you raise the pitch; the grave indicates merely the lower tone; the circumflex, that the voice is first raised, then depressed, on the same syllable.
In the pronunciation of Latin the observance of quantity and of pitch are the two most difficult points of attainment; and they are the crucial test of good reading.
