Lewis and language
Posted: April 17th, 2007, 2:50 am
As I understand it, and correct me if I'm wrong, Lewis knew Greek, Latin, French, and Italian. If that's true, I officially hate him. j/k
Was he well versed in all of them? IOW, was he a fluent speaker in all of these languages, or was he only able to translate some of them? I'm guessing that he really loved Latin since he was so into Medieval literature? Did he ever say which language he enjoyed the most?
