The focus will be on Latin, Sanskrit, and Arabic, but some scattered comments about Chinese are added as well. Greek translations into Latin happened in several stages and in at least four key periods, as was shown above (chap. 6 §2 with fig. 7). As the Arabic language has a rather different structure than Greek and Latin (and Indo-European in general), it may come as a surprise how quickly the Arabs were able to assimilate Greek science and learning, subsequently producing significant advances in many fields. The adoption began during the reign of Caliph Hārūn al-Rašīd (r. 786–809) and continued under his son al-Maʾmūn (r. 813– 833). It was facilitated by Syriac precursor translations and by translators already used to dealing with scientific Greek. During this relatively short period, Arabic became a more or less standardised language of science and produced adepts who founded schools and traditions that were often to last for half a millennium. Indeed, the ‘revolution’ in Latin science in the twelfth century – which was considered above (chap. 11) – took some of its texts to translate from such Arabic sources. Sanskrit has a rather similar structure to Greek, and could have quite effortlessly been used to translate scientific Greek; it largely relies on compounds to render technical terminology, as will be seen. Greek science does not seem to have been much translated into Sanskrit in Antiquity, yet there was definitely contact that led among other things to a flourishing of mathematics around the fifth century AD (with authors such as Āryabhaṭa) in India, and later on, through Arabic mediation, in many other fields. Already in the time immediately after Alexander the Great, there were quite close relations between the two peoples. King Aśoka (ca. 304–232) had Greek subjects in Kandahar, for he had edicts in-","PeriodicalId":321723,"journal":{"name":"Latin as the Language of Science and Learning","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132961781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its displacement happened later in parts of Europe where none of the three major languages was at home, as well as in some fields, such as philology and linguistics, where it was still alive and well in the middle of the nineteenth century or later (§1). Six niches where Latin continued to thrive into the twentieth century will be examined below (§§2–7). We have seen that the vernaculars took over Latin’s leading rôle as language of science and learning around the middle of the eighteenth century, but on the whole the development away from Latin was very slow and far from linear. There are still many important works first published in Latin throughout the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, as the following sample shows. • Stochastics: Jacob Bernoulli, Ars coniectandi (Basileae, 1713). • Botany: Samuel Gottlieb Gmelin, Flora sibirica sive historia plantarum Sibiriae, 4 vols (Petropolis, 1747–1769). • Number e and analysis: Leonhard Euler,Mechanica (Petropolis, 1736) and Introductio in analysin infinitorum (Lausannae, 1748). • Botany: Carl Linnaeus, Systema naturae (Lugduni Batavorum, 1735). • Medicine: Albrecht von Haller, Elementa physiologiae corporis humani, 8 vols (Lausannae, 1757–1766). • Physics: Rogerius Boscovicius, Theoria philosophiae naturalis (Venetiis, 1758). • History of Iceland: Finnur Jónsson, Historia ecclesiastica Islandiae (Hafniae, 1772–1778). • Homeric studies: Friedrich August Wolf, Prolegomena ad Homerum (Halis Saxonum, 1795). • Algebra: Carl Friedrich Gauß, Disquisitiones arithmeticae (Leipzig, 1801). • Magnetism: Hans Christian Ørsted, Experimenta circa effectum conflictus electrici in acum magneticam (Copenhagen, 1820). • Comparative linguistics: Franz Bopp, Glossarium sanscritum (Berlin, 1830).","PeriodicalId":321723,"journal":{"name":"Latin as the Language of Science and Learning","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116935197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
