John Amos Comenius

John Amos Comenius (1592 to 1670), recorded in Open Library as Johann Amos Comenius with the further forms Jan Amos Comenius and Jan Amos Komenský, has nearly five hundred works under that record. The record gives Orbis sensualium pictus as his top work and lists subjects such as early works to 1800, education, the Latin language, and conversation and phrase books. A second record under his name lists The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart, filed under religion, spirituality and religious fiction. His writing therefore runs from schoolbooks to devotional fiction. Genre, influence and nationality connections remain to be captured from further sources.
