<br/><br/>Inventing the Linguistic Monuments of Europe --  Religion and Language --  Vernacular Language and Secular Power in Emerging Europe. 
<br/><br/> The author introduces a discussion of the rush by nationalist philologists to rediscover the medieval roots of their respective vernaculars, the rivalry between vernacular languages and Latin to act as transmitters of Christian sacred texts and administrative documents, and the rather sloppy and ad hoc emergence in different places of the vernacular as the local administrative idiom.  Language and ideology in the scholarship of the late Middle Ages.
