No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The 'Duellum Glöselianum' is a specific 1608 polemical tract featuring the opposing views of Melchior Khlesl and Polycarp Leyser on religious freedom in Hungary. Searches across scholarly catalogs, Google Books, and Open Library confirm the existence of the original German/Latin editions but show no evidence of any English translation. Given its niche status as a 17th-century theological-political occasional work, it is highly unlikely to have been translated into English previously.

In a high-stakes 'duel' of theological and political intellect, this text debates the burning question of the 17th century: Can a kingdom survive religious diversity, or is tolerance a deal with the devil? Witness the clash between a hardline Bishop and a Protestant defender as they battle for the soul of Hungary and the stability of the Holy Roman Empire.
