Saint Roman de Seneva corresponded with J. H. Bisterfeld of Transylvania, and was interested in both the latter’s and Comenius’ pansophic ideas. He mediated the invitation for Comenius to come to France, initiated by Cardinal Richelieu. He met Comenius in person in Hamburg at the end of July or beginning of August 1642, during his return journey from England to Sweden. Comenius took this opportunity to repeat his recommendation of Joachim Hübner, most particularly because of his work on panhistory.
