| Apr 23, 2023 at 4:28 | comment | added | cmw | Not sure who wants to close this as opinion based, but I'm not sure it's suitable for linguistics. This is more of a historical question, and in my opinion should be moved there. But it is interesting to ask. I believe that knowledge never was truly lost, but I'm not sure of any primary sources offhand that directly discuss the matter. | |
