Isaac Habrecht’s publication of the Hybernian Janua differs only slightly from the original text published in Salamanca. Comenius’s transformation of Habrecht’s text is on the other hand radical, both in the composition of the chosen vocabulary, and especially in concept and composition. It is a completely new text which uses its model only as an inspiration. Comenius himself is the author of another great transformation. He reorganised its 100 chapters and 1,000 sentences according to a reconsidered structure of the material discussed. In doing so he largely expanded the text, so the second version is over twice the original extension. Even stylistically, it is more complicated; simple sentences no longer predominate, being replaced by complex sentences in longer paragraphs. We also know several adaptations of Comenius’s Janua by other authors. Their common feature is again an increase in the vocabulary, for the most part in conflict with Comenius’s original requirements for the simplicity and accessibility of a text book intended for beginners. In his system of textbooks, Comenius later included Janua as the second level, preceding it with the Vestibulum.

Comenius introduced his central piece of work General Consultation on the Improvement of Human Affairs with a celebratory dedication entitled by the salutation Europae lumina, viri docti, pii, eminentes, salvete (“Greetings, lights of Europe, men of learning, piety and eminence”). He rewrote this dedication twice, his emendations involving primarily further supplements to the text. The comparison of the three available texts allows for insight into the author’s thought not only on the dedication itself, but also on the whole of General Consultation. In this respect some role is played by brief descriptions – in most cases including a title – of individual parts of General Consultation in the opening of the dedication and their comparison with the final front-page forms of all seven parts of the work; it is possible to trace some shifts in emphasis on their content elements. Other changes concern above all accentuation of the aspect of universality and emphasis on urgency of appeals for participation in the improvement process. At the same time, however, we can also see a tendency towards appeasement of extreme emotions, and a milder and kinder attitude towards the addressees of the dedication – i. e. the prospective collaborators in the task of the universal improvement of human affairs.

The edition presents the evaluation of Czech students Johannes Salmon, Matthaeus Titus, Johannes Litomilus, Johanes Amosus (= Comenius) and Johannes Stadius that was requested by Matouš Konečný, the senior priest of the Unity of Brethern, from the head of Herbon Academy J. Piscator and its other professors. The brief evaluations have been written by seven professors: J. Matthaeus, H. Gutberlet, H. Ravensperger, J. H. Alsted, H. Dauber, G. Pasor, J. J. Hermann, who all have expressed a predominantly positive opinion about the study and conduct of Czech students. The document has been discovered in 2006 in the town of Mladá Boleslav in the course of reconstruction work in the former monastery called Karmel that served as the residence of the seniors of the Unity in the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century.
