Dark tongues : the art of rogues and riddlers

by Daniel Heller-Roazen

This study explores the history of secret and artificial languages, from Renaissance criminal jargons to the sacred tongues of ancient poets. It analyses how humans throughout history have manipulated grammar and speech to create cryptic forms of communication.
