Synopsis

The idea that there once existed a language which perfectly and unambiguously expressed the essence of all possible things and concepts has occupied the minds of philosophers, theologians, and mystics for at least two millennia. This book investigates the history of that idea, and of its profound influence on European thought, culture and history.
