Excerpt from On Metonyms: Or Translated and Quasi-Translated Personal Names
At the period of the 'revival of Letters,' when the Latin and Greek tongues came again to be familiarly understood among the literary men of Western Europe, and to be used by them with elegance in the writing of history and other works, and in correspondence and even common conversation with each other, it was found that the proper names of persons (as also of places) constituted, in many instances, sounds harsh to the ear, and forms uncouth to the eye, in the midst of the flow and harmony of the lately-revived, so-called classical languages.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the use of translated and quasi-translated names, also known as metonyms, during the Renaissance period. This practice was an attempt to soften and harmonize names that sounded harsh to the ear, and to fit in with the Latin and Greek tongues that were becoming popular among literary men of the time. The author makes extensive use of specific examples of metonyms used by various historical figures, from prominent scholars such as Erasmus and Melanchthon, to famous printers and other literary figures. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of names and the evolution of languages during the Renaissance era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781527847668_0
