Popis: A.H. Niemeyer, one of the most popular and important educationalists of the 18th century, seems to have fallen into oblivion and largely escaped the notice of historians of education. For this reason, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Niemeyer's birth, the contribution on hand pursues the aim to recall and appreciate his life and work. It endeavours, furthermore, to examine a question that is meaningful to education as a science, namely how it is possible that a classic author on education is almost completely unknown today.
