librarycompany:

The first #WednesdayChallenge of 2020 asks us to share some of our #OutOfThisWorld collections, and we thought we’d start with this astrological plate from Comenius’s Janua Linguarum Trilinguis, which features the twelve signs of the #zodiac. 

The accompanying text is printed in three columns in three languages- English, Latin, and Greek. This pictorial phrasebook was intended to help students learn language through description of familiar things and by associating words with images.

Happy New Year! We hope your #horoscope is looking good!

Comenius, Johann Amos. Janua Linguarum Trilinguis. Londini:  ex Officina Rogeri Danielis, 1662.
