Eco, Umberto : The Search for the Perfect Language
- description
- additional information
translated by James Fentress.
From the early Dark Ages to the Renaissance it was widely believed that the language spoken in the Garden of Eden was a perfect language, expressing all possible things, and that all current languages were its decadent descendants. This is an investigation into the history of this idea.
