Historia y tradición en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en Europa (V): Edad Media - las otras lenguas, vernáculas, sapienciales y religiosas.

Abstract

In the field of foreign language teaching in Europe there are three aspects that must be taken into account when we refer in specific terms to the Middle Ages: the teaching of Latin, the vernacular languages and the other written, sacred and sapiential languages.

The first of these aspects was treated in the previous issue of Babel and the current article is concerned with the latter ones as a way to complete and conclude the great historical moment of Middle Ages within the History of foreign language teaching in Europe, characterized, as is already known, by the languages of religion and science, and the first accounts in the history of the teaching of modern languages as foreign ones.
