A call to action for developing a sophisticated and pure Latin language as essential to a comprehensive education may be found in Lorenzo Valla's Elegantia lingua Latinae. By providing a standard for proper Latin usage that was widely adopted by academics, writers, and educators in the era of burgeoning humanism, it contributed to the rebirth of classical learning in Europe. The greatest recognized contribution of Lorenzo Valla was his discovery that the Donation of Constantine was a fake, which dealt a serious damage to the papacy's political authority. Latin text
