The work 'Pansophiae Prodromus' (1639/1644) by Comenius was published in English as 'A Reformation of Schooles' (1642) by Samuel Hartlib. However, 'A Reformation of Schooles' is widely recognized by scholars as a partial translation or an adaptation of the 'Pansophiae Prodromus' rather than a complete, faithful translation of the entire Latin text. No other complete English translation of the full Latin text has been identified in the searched catalogs. Therefore, this is the first complete translation.
