Abstract:
This book is a study of the relatively unknown field of Baltic linguistic
historiography associated with the 16th century. 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.
