Chapter one
We clothed go. → We go clothed ? I’m not a native speaker, but I never heard anybody say “we clothed go”.
A unicorn is a fierce animal → A rhinoceros is a wild animal
A lion is a cruel [animal]. → A lion is a ferocious animal
I am a native speaker
, and you’re right; no one says that. The reason I rendered it that way was because, especially at the beginning of the Vesitibulum, I was aiming for extremely literal translations, including matching the Latin syntax. The translation we have says we go about with clothes, which is better English; I wanted to capture the passive participle in English, however. I might just change this, though, because it’s horrible English.
Just looking at the beginning:
προτόπειροι should be πρωτό-. It’s a nice word (if an uncommon one) but it doesn’t mean children.
μανθάνατε should be μανθάνετε.
I don’t look further, but let’s hope the rest is better than this.
Here’s the Greek Vestibulum. One typo is in the book (it is spelled correctly in the note), the other is not.
The author is Christian Tobias Damm (1699-1778) “a renowned German Classical philologist.”
Per fluiviōs vadāmus. → Per fluviōs vadāmus.
Cēdit retrō, ubī nequit peregere. → Cēdit retrō, ubī nequit pergere.
Metuit damnum, querit lucrum. → Metuit damnum, quaerit lucrum.
I finished the second chapter.

Nice one.
I haven’t really started the Greek Vestibulum in earnest. I promise the Latin version is more free from these silly errors ![]()
Evan, in your Latin-English Vestibulum some parts are missing but are present in the Greek. You may want to take then from this Latin-German-Polish edition and add them. For example, venite tyrunculi.
Thanks, Bewere. I noticed that as well when you sent me the Greek version. I’ll see what I can do. I’m hoping it won’t involve too much more work!
I’ve redone Caput Primum, adding the additional words from the Vesitibulum you provided. Would you mind, Bedwere, looking again through the first chapter? There were a decent amount of words and a couple of them I was uncertain of. Thanks again!
Capra gracile et machilentum. → Capra gracile et macilentum.
Chīrugus (?) idōnea vel inidōnea. → Chīrurgus idōneus vel inidōneus.
Sēps (?) pessima, (us). → Sēps pessima.
Chapter 3
Quandō in hortō fuistī. → Quandō in hortō fuistī?
Ebo dubitās? → Eho dubitās?
Chapter IV
Quō in artibus ērudiātur. Here “quo” means “in order that”.
Ille ēmendās mendās. → Ille ēmendāt mendās.
Ostīgens [???] prōficit. In the German edition there is “Diligens”.
Bedwere, your corrections have now been included. Also, I have now finished the second chapter up through plantārum. As will be evidenced, the German/Polish adds a lot of words, many of which are awesome and useful. On the other hand, a lot of strange words I’m unsure about.
Gratias maximas tibi ago propter multa facta tua pro me.
Cum aperītur ōstium transa (?) → Cum aperītur ōstium transi.
Tegitibus (?) nōs integimus, --? Tegetibus nōs integimus.
Et secussus (?) prō alvō levandā → Et sēcessus prō alvō levandā ![]()
collaria would be collars, rather than scarves. In the Renaissance were separate from shirts.
Ancillae acillantur. → Ancillae ancillantur.
Updates made.
VI
Nam quod nōn ūnī propium est, est commūne. → Nam quod nōn ūnī proprium est, est commūne
Exercit (?) religiōnem. → Exercet religiōnem.
Thanks again, Bedwere! I made the changes indicated and am also now finished with chapter two up to opificum. The second chapter is massively expanded.
Gratias iterum tibi ago, Bedwere! Mutavi indicata et caput secudum etiam usque ad “opificum” terminavi. Caput secundum multo extenditur.
VII
Occultā celā (?) → Occulta cēlā (puto
)
Sī quid vīs cōnārī, dēbēs prius contārī (?). contor–>cunctor
