I would like to know if there are any books on the History of the Italian
Language that are similar in scope and format to Lloyd's "From Latin to
Spanish" or Penny's "History of the Spanish Language" (please see full
I am interested in such a book for a History of the Spanish Language
class that I am teaching that has double Spanish/Italian majors who are
interested in comparing the evolution of Italian and Spanish from Latin.
It can be written in English or Italian, but it needs to be the internal
history of the language, not external.

Edition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
