Note 594 — Chapter IX · GENERAL LATINISATION OF CULTURE.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Paul. Jov. Dialogus de viris literis illustribus, in Tiraboschi, ed. Venez. 1766, tom. vii. p. iv. It is well known that Giovio was long anxious to undertake the great work which Vasari accomplished. In the dialogue mentioned above it is foreseen and deplored that Latin would now altogether lose its supremacy.
