was a Czech philosopher, pedagogue and theologian from
the Margraviate of Moravia.[2][3] He served as the last
bishop of Unity of the Brethren and became a religious
refugee and one of the earliest champions of universal
education, a concept eventually set forth in his book

Brod (as on his gravestone in Naarden) or Nivnice, or Komňa, all of which are located in Uherské Hradiště
District of today's Czech Republic. John Comenius was the youngest child and only son of Martin Komenský
(died 1602–4) and his wife Anna Chmelová. His grandfather, whose name was Jan Szeges, was of Hungarian
origin. He started to use the surname Komenský after leaving Komňa to live in Uherský Brod.[7] (He was
"the man from Komňa" = Komenský.) Martin and Anna Komenský belonged to the Moravian Brethren, and
Comenius later became one of the leaders of that pre-Reformation Protestant denomination.[8] His parents
and two of his four sisters died in 1604 and young John went to live with his aunt in Strážnice.

Owing to his impoverished circumstances he was unable to begin his formal

education until late.[8] He was 16 when he entered the Latin school in Přerov
(he later returned to this school as a teacher 1614–1618). He continued his
studies in the Herborn Academy (1611–1613) and the University of
Heidelberg (1613–1614). In 1612 he read Fama Fraternitatis. Comenius was
greatly influenced by the Irish Jesuit William Bathe as well as his teachers
Johann Piscator, Heinrich Gutberleth, and particularly Heinrich Alsted. The
Herborn school held the principle that every theory has to be functional in
practical use, therefore it has to be didactic (i.e. morally instructive). In the
course of his study he also became acquainted with the educational reforms
of Ratichius and with the report of these reforms issued by the universities of
Jena and Giessen.[8] Comenius' book Janua linguarum reserata (The Gate of
Languages Unlocked, 1631) brought him widespread prominence and fame.
However he and the Unity became special targets of the Counter
Reformation movement and were forced into exile even as his fame grew
across Europe. Oldest surviving manuscript
by Comenius from 1611;
Comenius became rector of a school in Přerov.[9] In 1616 he was ordained
written in Latin and Czech
into the ministry of the Moravian Brethren and four years later became
pastor and rector at Fulnek, one of its most flourishing churches. Throughout
his life this pastoral activity was his most immediate concern. In consequence of the religious wars he lost all
his property and his writings in 1621 and six years later[8][10] led the Brethren into exile when the Habsburg
Counter-Reformation persecuted the Protestants in Bohemia.

Comenius took refuge in Leszno in Poland, where he led the gymnasium and, furthermore, was given charge
of the Bohemian and Moravian churches. In 1628 he corresponded with Johann Valentin Andreae. In 1638
Comenius responded to a request by the government of Sweden and traveled there to draw up a scheme for
the management of the schools of that country,[9][10] and in 1641, he responded to a request by the English
parliament and joined a commission there charged with the reform of the system of public education. The
disturbed political condition of England interfered with the latter project,[8][9] and so in 1642 he returned to
Sweden to work with Queen Christina (reigned 1632–1654) and the chancellor Axel Oxenstierna (in office
1612–1654) on the task of reorganizing the Swedish schools. The same year he moved to Elbląg (Elbing) in
Poland and in 1648 went to England with the aid of Samuel Hartlib, who came originally from Elbląg. In
1650 Zsuzsanna Lorántffy, widow of George I Rákóczi prince of Transylvania invited him to Sárospatak.
Comenius remained there until 1654 as a professor at the first Hungarian Protestant College; he wrote some
of his most important works there.

Comenius returned to Leszno. During the Deluge in 1655, he declared his support for the Protestant
(Swedish, etc.) side, for which Polish (Catholic) partisans burned his house, his manuscripts, and the school's
printing press in 1656. From Leszno he took refuge in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he died in 1670.
For unclear reasons he was buried in Naarden, where visitors can see his grave in the mausoleum devoted to
him.

After his religious duties, Comenius's second great interest was in furthering the Baconian attempt at the
organization of all human knowledge. He became one of the leaders in the encyclopædic or pansophic

John Amos Comenius - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Amos_Comenius

movement of the seventeenth century, and, in fact, was inclined to

sacrifice his more practical educational interests and opportunities
for these more imposing but somewhat visionary projects. In 1639,
Comenius published his Pansophiæ Prodromus, and in the following
year his English friend Hartlib published, without his consent, the
plan of the pansophic work as outlined by Comenius. The manuscript
of Pansophia was destroyed in the burning of his home in Leszno in
1657. The pansophic ideas find partial expression in the series of
textbooks he produced from time to time. In these, he attempts to
organize the entire field of human knowledge so as to bring it, in
outline, within the grasp of every child.[8]

According to Cotton Mather, Comenius was asked by Winthrop to be

Portrait of an Old Man by
Rembrandt, possibly a depiction of
Comenius
the President of Harvard University, this being more plausibly John
Winthrop the Younger than his father since the junior Winthrop was
in England; but Comenius moved to Sweden instead.[11][12]
Comenius also attempted to design a language in which false
statements were inexpressible.[13] A new Dutch translation of his
Janua Linguarum Reserata by C.F.J. Antonides is available.

Comenius produced a new edition of the 1618 Bohemian Brethren hymnal, Kancionál, to jest kniha žalmů a
písní duchovních (Amsterdam, 1659), containing 606 texts and 406 tunes. In addition to revising the psalms
and hymns, his revision greatly expanded the number of hymns and added a new introduction. This edition
was reissued several times, into the nineteenth century. His texts in Czech were notable poetic compositions,
but he used tunes from other sources. He also edited the German hymnal Kirchen-, Haus- und Hertzens-
Musica (Amsterdam, 1661), which had been published under the title Kirchengesänge since 1566. In other
writings, Comenius addresses both instrumental and vocal music in many places, although he dedicated no
treatise to the topic. Sometimes he follows the medieval mathematical conception of music, but in other
places he links music with grammar, rhetoric, and politics. Musical practice, both instrumental and vocal,
played an important role in his system of education.[14]

The most permanent influence exerted by Comenius was in practical

educational work. Few men since his days have had a greater
influence though, for the greater part of the eighteenth century and
the early part of the nineteenth, there was little recognition of his
relationship to the current advance in educational thought and
practice. The practical educational influence of Comenius was
threefold. He was first a teacher and an organizer of schools, not
only among his own people, but later in Sweden, and to a slight
extent in Holland. In his Didactica Magna (Great Didactic), he
outlined a system of schools that is the exact counterpart of the Latin class from Orbis Pictus
existing American system of kindergarten, elementary school,
secondary school, college, and university.[8]

In the second place, the influence of Comenius was in formulating the general theory of education. In this
respect, he is the forerunner of Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Fröbel, etc., and is the first to formulate that idea of
"education according to nature" so influential during the latter part of the eighteenth and early part of the
nineteenth century. The influence of Comenius on educational thought is comparable with that of his
contemporaries, Bacon and Descartes, on science and philosophy. In fact, he was largely influenced by the
thought of these two; and his importance is largely due to the fact that he first applied or attempted to apply

John Amos Comenius - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Amos_Comenius

in a systematic manner the principles of thought and of investigation, newly formulated by those
philosophers, to the organization of education in all its aspects. The summary of this attempt is given in the
Didactica Magna, completed about 1631, though not published until several years later.[8]

The third aspect of his educational influence was that on the subject matter and method of education,
exerted through a series of textbooks of an entirely new nature. The first-published of these was the Janua
Linguarum Reserata (The Gate of Tongues Unlocked), issued in 1631. This was followed later by a more
elementary text, the Vestibulum, and a more advanced one, the Atrium, and other texts. In 1658 the Orbis
Pictus was published, probably the most renowned and most widely circulated of school textbooks. It was
also the first successful application of illustrations to the work of teaching, though not, as often stated, the
first illustrated book for children.[8]

These texts were all based on the same fundamental ideas: (1)
learning foreign languages through the vernacular; (2) obtaining ideas
through objects rather than words; (3) starting with objects most
familiar to the child to introduce him to both the new language and
the more remote world of objects; (4) giving the child a
comprehensive knowledge of his environment, physical and social, as
well as instruction in religious, moral, and classical subjects; (5)
making this acquisition of a compendium of knowledge a pleasure Relief of Komensky in Dolany, Czech
rather than a task; and (6) making instruction universal. While the Republic
formulation of many of these ideas is open to criticism from more
recent points of view, and while the naturalistic conception of
education is one based on crude analogies, the importance of the Comenian influence in education has been
recognized since the middle of the nineteenth century. The educational writings of Comenius comprise more
than forty titles. In 1892 the three-hundredth anniversary of Comenius was very generally celebrated by
educators, and at that time the Comenian Society for the study and publication of his works was formed.[8]

John Amos Comenius was a bishop of the Unity of the Brethren

church that had its roots in the teaching of Czech reformer Jan Hus.
One of his most famous theological work is the Labyrinth of the
World and Paradise of the Heart. The book represents his thinking
about the world being full of various useless things and complex
labyrinths. The true peace of mind and soul can be found only in the
one´s heart where Christ the saver should dwell and rule. This
teaching is also repeated in one of his last works Unum Necessarium
(Only One is Needed) where he shows various labyrinths and
problems in the world and provide simple solutions to various
situation. In this book he also admits that his former believing in
prophecies and revelations of those days [10] was his personal
labyrinth where he got lost manytimes. He was greatly influenced by
Boehme. In his Synopsis physicae ad lumen divinum reformatae,
Comenius gives a physical theory of his own, said to be taken from
the book of Genesis. He was also famous for his prophecies and the Labyrinth of the World and Paradise
support he gave to visionaries. In his Lux in tenebris he published the of the Heart
visions of Christopher Kotterus, Mikuláš Drabík (lat. Nicolaus
Drabicius) and Christina Poniatowska. Attempting to interpret the
book of Revelation, he promised the millennium in 1672, and guaranteed miraculous assistance to those who
would undertake the destruction of the Pope and the house of Austria, even venturing to prophesy that
Oliver Cromwell, Gustavus Adolphus, and George I Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania, would perform the

John Amos Comenius - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Amos_Comenius

task. He also wrote to Louis XIV of France, informing him that the empire of the world should be his reward
if he would overthrow the enemies of God.[9]

One of his daughters, Elisabeth, married Peter Figulus from Jablonné nad Orlicí. Their son, Daniel Ernst
Jablonski (1660–1741), Comenius's grandson, later went to Berlin in 1693; there he became the highest
official pastor at the court of King Frederick I of Prussia (reigned 1701–1713). There he became acquainted
with Count Nicolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf (1700–1760). Zinzendorf was among the foremost successors to
Comenius as a bishop (1737–1760) in the renewed Moravian Brethren's Church.

The Comenius Medal, a UNESCO award honouring outstanding achievements in the fields of education
research and innovation, commemorates Comenius. Peter Drucker hailed Comenius as the inventor of
textbooks and primers.[15]

Czech Republic

During the 19th century Czech National Revival, Czechs idealised

Comenius as a symbol of the Czech nation. This image persists to the
present day. Czech Republic celebrates 28 March, the birthday of
Comenius, as Teachers' Day. University of Jan Amos Komensky has
been founded in Prague. It offers bachelor's, master's and graduate
degree programmes.[16] Gate to Languages, a project of lifelong
education, taking place in the Czech Republic from October 2005 to Czech koruna banknote depicting
June 2007 and aimed at language education of teachers, was named Comenius
after his book Janua linguarum reserata (Gate to Languages
Unlocked). Comenius is pictured on the 200 Czech koruna banknote.

Elsewhere in Europe

In 1919 Comenius University was founded by an act of parliament in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, (now in
Slovakia). It was the first university with courses in the Slovak language. In Sárospatak, Hungary, a teacher's
college is named after him (the college now belongs to the University of Miskolc.) Comenius' name has been
given to primary schools in several German cities, including Bonn, Grafing, and Deggendorf. In Skopje,
Republic of Macedonia the Czechoslovak government built a school after a catastrophic 1963 earthquake
and named it after Comenius (Jan Amos Komenski in Macedonian). In Poland, the Comenius Foundation is
a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the provision of equal opportunities to children under 10 years
of age.

The Italian film director Roberto Rossellini took Comenius, and especially his theory of "direct vision," as
his model in the development of his didactic theories, which Rossellini hoped would usher the world into a
utopian future.[17]

"Comenius" (https://web.archive.org/web/20080212101223/http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes
/socrates/comenius/index_en.html), a European Union school partnership program, takes its name from the
popularly monikered teacher of nations and father of general education.[18][19] In the United Kingdom, the
University of Sheffield's Western Bank Library holds the largest collection of Comenius manuscripts outside
of the Czech Republic.

United States

In 1892 Comenius Hall, the principal classroom and faculty office building on Moravian College's campus in
Pennsylvania, was built. In 1892 educators in many places celebrated the three-hundredth anniversary of
Comenius, and at that time the Comenian Society for the study and publication of his works was formed.[20]
The education department at Salem College in North Carolina has an annual Comenius Symposium dedicated
in his honor; the subjects usually deal with modern issues in education. The Comenius Foundation in the US,
a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity, uses film and documentary production to further faith, learning, and love.[21]
