Janua linguarum reserata:. sive, omnium scientiarum & linguarum seminarium: id est compendiosa Latinam & Anglicam, aliasque linguas, & artium etiam fundamenta addiscendi methodus: unà cum Januæ Latinitatis vestibulo. Autore Cl. viro J.A. Comenio. The gate of languages unlocked: or, a seed-plot of all arts and tongues; containing a ready way to learn the Latin and English tongue. Formerly translated by Tho. Horn : afterwards much corrected and amended by Joh. Robotham : now carefully reviwed by W.D. to which is premised a portal. As also, there is now newly added the foundation to the Janua; containing all, or the chief primitives of the Latin tongue, drawn into sentences, in an alphabetical order, by G.P.
