This book will principally appeal to, and help, scholars and students who wish to inform themselves on the texts and the structures of the languages of Italy from the earliest documents to the formation of those modern Romance dialects which we subsume under the name “Italian”. In describing all these speeches and in giving an historical account of them through a selection of available records, the comments will seek to relate to the underlying principles of synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Thus general linguistic theory and the study of specific languages will constantly complement one another, the first serving as a background for the second, and the second as illustration for the first. But since theory is not an end in itself, its circular self-inspection will be avoided; rather, theory must derive from, and serve to organize, the data. The bibliography will list mostly the important handbooks, to which the reader may turn for more detailed references.
