How did the University of Heidelberg influence John Amos Comenius?

John Amos Comenius entered the University of Heidelberg in 1613. His time there was influential in two primary ways:1

• Religious Influence: He came under the influence of Protestant millennialists, who held the belief that salvation could be achieved on earth.1
• Intellectual Development: He read the works of Francis Bacon with great enthusiasm. This exposure left him convinced that the millennium could be attained through the application of science, a conviction that would later shape his lifelong dedication to educational and social reform.1
