(i know a little bit already) (like his actual name is similar to one of the canonic suspects for the jack the ripper!!) (but that is irrelevant, oddly enough)

This is the Czech educator? I just looked him up in Chamber's Biolgraphical. It's a reasonable length entry. Not much about ideas, just "a pioneer of new language teaching methods" and "planning a Baconian College of all the sciences". It says 'Orbis Sensualium Pictus' was the first foreign language textbook to use pictures as a visual aid.

(Will Eisner often talked about the US military doing a study on how to teach and train, and finding that comics were best. Looks like Comenius was ahead of them.)

Amazing that "nicht" was written as "nit", since that's the way it's pronounced by a bunch of folks.
