Samuel HartlibSamuel Hartlieb (Elbląg, Poland c. 1600? - England 1662), better known in English as Samuel Hartlib, was a man of science and education. Hartlieb studied at the Brieg Gymnasium and Knigsberg University and briefly at the University of Cambridge in England. In 1628, he went to England from Elbing, where he became one of the initiators of the Royal Society, London. There he married and lived for the rest of his life. He put much effort to get the protestant Moravian Brethren Johann Amos Comenius to come to England. His original letters in German and English have been studied recently intensively. Samuel Hartlieb set out with the goal: "To record all human knowledge and to make it universally available for the education of all mankind". See: encyclopedia Hartlib, Samuel Hartlib, Samuel
