The term "Latin Quarter" originates from Paris and refers to the arrondissement where the university was located, with instruction delivered in Latin. The Montreal usage of this expression dates back to 1876, when a branch of Laval University, the precursor to the University of Montreal, settled in this area.
Le terme "Quartier latin" est d'origine parisienne et désigne l'arrondissement où s'élevait l'université, dont l'enseignement était dispensé en latin. L'usage montréalais de cette expression remonte à 1876 lorsqu'une filiale de l'Université Laval, l'ancêtre de l'Université de Montréal vient s'installer dans ce secteur.

When I was in Paris France I was searching out for something to paint,then I saw this couple just walking down the streets of the Latin Quarter and thought you know what that pretty much sums up what Paris is all about,walking down the streets with a loved one, perhaps heading off to a cafe for a light brunch before going to the Louvre and dreaming with the artists of the past.Steve.H.
Locución latina que significa "en palabra de nadie", se interpreta también como "mira por ti mismo", llamando a buscar la verdad con experimentos, más allá de las presiones políticas, sociales, religiosas u otras.
It is inscribed: I(oui) O(ptimo) M(aximo) ue(x)il(I)atio
Rectorum Gaesat(orum) q(uorum) c(uram)
a(git) Iul(ius) Seuer(inus) trib(unus)
Which means:
"To Jupiter, Best and Greatest, the detachment of Raetian Spearmen, under the acting command of Julius Severinus, their tribune, (set this up)."
...well so me mom says :-)
Latin Bridge (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Latinska ćuprija / Латинска ћуприја, named Principov most / Принципов мост - "Princip Bridge" in Yugoslavian era) is an Ottoman bridge over the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The northern end of the bridge was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which became casus belli of World War I.
On June 28, 1914 at the turning from the Right Bank into a street Gavrilo Princip shot and killed Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. This was the immediate cause for the beginning of the First World War. The bridge was renamed Princip during the Yugoslavian era. The name returned to the Latin Bridge after the Yugoslav Wars.
Statue of Jorge Amado and Zélia Gattai in front of the Igreja de Santana (Saint Anne's Church), at the Rio Vermelho neighborhood in Salvador, Brazil.
Known for this popular and accessible style, Amado books depict the history of the lower classes of Salvador, with a pinch of social critique.
He was one of actors of the Latin American Boom of the 60s and 70s, together with other writers as Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez. Captains of the Sands remains one of my old time favorites, back from school time, but many of his books became known internationally, works such as Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands.
A communist militant, he was elected in 1945 as a São Paulo representative in the National Constituent Assembly of 1946 by the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), but only to see the party declared illegal in 1947. Amado went on exile, first in France, then in Czechoslovakia.
He was married to Zélia Gattai, whose first book was an authobiography called Anarquistas, Graças à Deus! (Anarchists, Thank God!) and also a member of the Academia Brasileira de Letras (Brazilian Academy of Letters).
