Late Latin

Late Latin is a form of the Latin language that occurred between Classical Latin and Medieval Latin. Even though people do not agree on the exact dates, it was used from about the 3rd to the 6th or 7th century CE. There are no exact dates when Late Latin replaced Classical Latin, or when it was replaced by Medieval Latin. Late Latin is a written language, which is also different from Vulgar Latin, which was a spoken language. Late Latin was used and taught by the Church Fathers, who also used it for their theological writings.
