Specialist Notes
The brilliant insights into infant education, some of which can still be considered current, of the illustrious Czech philosopher, theologian and pedagogist Giovanni Amos Comenio (1592-1670) had great influence in various countries. The author set out to create a profitable and convincing tool to bring children closer to knowledge through sensory experience at a time when only primer books were used for them. & Nbsp; Relying on the power of images, he created Orbis Sensualium Pictus , the first illustrated book conceived for children, a real modern didactic aid. The text was very successful and was translated into various languages becoming the most used book in elementary education, on the other hand the pedagogue, as a reformer of school education, was very famous in Europe. & Nbsp; < br>
