Producing books in Latin during the Middle Ages restricted knowledge accessibility, but the translation of classical works into vernacular languages broadened access and enriched languages.
The effect of producing books only in Latin during the Middle Ages resulted in limited access to knowledge for individuals who did not understand Latin, especially those from lower socioeconomic classes. The emphasis on Latin meant that classical works were primarily accessible to a select educated few, predominantly members of the Church. However, the development of the printing press and the translation of classical works into vernacular languages like English helped democratize knowledge and literacy, leading to the enrichment of languages and the spread of information.
