This historical period witnessed various sociocultural changes, affecting linguistic situations and the ways in which these were perceived. Christian intellectuals were confronted with languages other than Latin in the context of the propagation of faith, and in reflecting on language were bound to comply with the relevant biblical accounts. Whereas previous research has mostly focused on the (indeed vital) contribution of Augustine, the present study reveals the diversified and dynamic nature of linguistic reflection in early Latin Christianity. 410 0$aSupplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;$vVolume 142. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a261.5 700 $aDenecker$b Tim$01606947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826645903321 996 $aIdeas on language in early Latin Christianity from Tertullian to Isidore of Seville$93932965 997 $aUNINA
