First Modern Translation
Only antiquated translations exist. This is the first modern English translation.
While historical English translations of Comenius's 'Vestibulum' (such as those by John Hornby in 1659 and William Salmon in 1670) are documented in historical bibliographies and scholarly literature, no modern, critical, or scholarly English translation of the Latin text has been published. The existing translations are antiquated and date to the 17th century.
