"De Pronunciatione Graecae & Latinae Linguae" by John Caius is a scholarly treatise on the pronunciation of Greek and Latin, written during the early 16th century. This scientific publication aims to address and critique the contemporary practices of pronunciation prevalent in Britain at the time, contrasting them with the ancient methods used in regions like Italy and Greece. Caius focuses on the significance of maintaining traditional pronunciations within the broader context of language education and literature. In this work, Caius articulates his observations regarding the differences in pronunciation he encountered upon returning to Britain after his studies in Italy. He expresses concern over what he perceives as a decline in the eloquence of classical languages due to newer, often unrefined methods of pronunciation adopted by British speakers. Through extensive references to classical texts and anecdotes, he argues passionately for the preservation of ancient pronunciation methods and critiques the introduction of new pronunciations that he regards as inferior. Ultimately, he emphasizes the importance of adhering to established linguistic traditions to maintain clarity and authenticity in communication, particularly in academic and literary contexts.
