Directory         1.    Regina Morin, Resources: History of the Italian Language Message 1: Resources: History of the Italian Language Date: 15-Sep-2010 From: Regina Morin <rmorintcnj.edu> Subject: Resources: History of the Italian Language E-mail this message to a friend I would like to know if there are any books on the History of the Italian Language that are similar in scope and format to Lloyd's "From Latin to Spanish" or Penny's "History of the Spanish Language" (please see full citations below). I am interested in such a book for a History of the Spanish Language class that I am teaching that has double Spanish/Italian majors who are interested in comparing the evolution of Italian and Spanish from Latin. It can be written in English or Italian, but it needs to be the internal history of the language, not external. Bibliography: Lloyd, Paul M. 1987. From Latin to Spanish. Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society. Penny, Ralph. 2002. A History of the Spanish Language. Second Edition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
