This chapter will examine the process by which Latin came to be established as the liturgical language of the Western Church from the fourth century onwards. In this process, the elaboration of Christian revelation proved definitive in transforming a traditional style of prayer that was firmly embedded in the Roman world. Particular attention will be given to the development of the Roman Eucharistic prayer, the Canon missae. Characteristic features of the new liturgical idiom will be analysed with the help of selected examples, both from the canon and from the variable prayers of the Mass.
