This has been the saeculum mirabile of Baltic philology, not only on account of the first books having appeared during that period, but also due to the diverse linguistic ideas about the Baltic languages which were circulating during Renaissance Palaeocomparativism: the Slavic and the closely connected Illyrian theory, the Latin theory (with its variants: the semi-Latin, the neo-Latin, and the Wallachian), also the Quadripartite theory. Minor but significant linguistic ideas are also discussed here, for example the emergence of a Hebrew theory and the Greek theory about Old Prussian. The synoptic juxtaposition of the different ideas shows very well the state of knowledge in Europe about the languages which later would be called ?Baltic? and the modernity of those ideas within European Renaissance linguistic debate leading to the rise of comparative linguistic genealogy. 410 0$aOn the boundary of two worlds ;$v36. 606 $aBaltic languages$xHistory 615 0$aBaltic languages$xHistory. 676 $a491.9 700 $aDini$b Pietro U.$0220478 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815059203321 996 $aPrelude to Baltic linguistics$93977536 997 $aUNINA
