From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Bathe (1564 - 1614) was a Jesuit priest, born in Dublin, Ireland.

He taught languages in Europe and was the author of one of the world's first language teaching texts, juxtaposing words to their pictures Janua Linguarum [in English: The Mass of Tongues]. The famous Czech educator Comenius based his work Janua Linguarum Reserata on this text.
