About this book
The Roman Pronunciation of Latin carries the subtitle Why We Use It and How to Use It, and names Frances E. Lord. The text says the greater part of our knowledge of the pronunciation of Latin comes from the Latin grammarians, whose authority varies greatly in value, or through incidental statements of the classic writers, or from monumental inscriptions. The text says that, as a rule, Latin was pronounced as written, and calls this a most important piece of knowledge. The text cites Quintilian as an authority and says he speaks of the subtleties of the grammarians.
The text says all the grammarians agree that the letter u performed the office of both vowel and consonant. The text gives Th nearly as in then, not as in thin. The text says the vowel of the supine and cognate parts of the verb is long if the vowel of the present indicative, though short, is followed by a medial.
