In spite of the frequent errors due to the difficulties of copying in reverse for printing, his pictures were a great contribution to the success of the Hungarian version of Orbis Pictus. His pictures, also seen in the 1728 Levoca edition now kept in the University Library, exactly mirror the ones of the Nuremberg edition, proving that he copied directly from the original. The standard guide to the many editions and printings of Orbis is: Kurt Pilz, Die Ausgaben des Orbis Sensualium Pictus (Nuremberg, 1967). While the illustrator of the first and all the following German editions is unknown, the 151 wood engravings of the Levoca editions were provenly made by Jonas Bubenka, the Latin teacher of the Levoca Evangelical School.

Orbis Pictus, o Orbis Sensualium Pictus, è un libro di testo per bambini e ragazzi scritto dal pedagogista ceco Comenio e pubblicato nel 1658. According to Comenius, the usefulness of Orbis Pictus is threefold: it helps children to memorize concepts, makes them enjoy reading, and offers aesthetic delight to „seek pleasure in books”. Its theory is pansophic encyclopedism, its method is based upon natural, simple and clear style. In the mid 17th-century John Comenius published what many consider to be the first picture book dedicated to the education of young children, Orbis Sensualium Pictus or The World of Things Obvious to the Senses drawn in Pictures, as it was rendered in English. This is the most important product of Comenius’s activity in Hungary, a textbook for reading and language learning, a diverse encyclopedia in form of a children’s picture book. „Let it be given to children into their hands to delight themselves withal they please, with the sight of the pictures, and making them as familiar to themselves as may be, and that even at home before they be put to school” – says Comenius in his preface to Orbis Pictus. Known as the first illustrated book for children, it makes use of marked illustrations and associated sections to present. Orbis Sensualium Pictus was an enormous success for a textbook with a long row of editions between its first Nuremberg publication in 1658, and the last – apparently still to be used in schools – in Leipzig, 1910. The Orbis Pictus is an early picture book by Johann Amos Comenius. Yet, the first theoretically elaborated and well completed comprehensive work of this genre was Comenius’s masterpiece.
