How, in the fourteenth century, everyday spoken languages--English, French, and German--came to be used instead of Latin for writing literature, philosophy, and translations of the Bible. Dante's Divine Comedy, François Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, and William Tyndale's sixteenth-century English translation of the Bible.
