What exactly did Lob teach Modesty and how?


I'm a bit unclear as to what exactly Lob taught Modesty - the syllabus - and how.

1/ each subject listed
2/ in order of teaching
3/ an exact syllabus (i.e. an exact description of the content of the subject)
4/ How was each individual subject taught (i.e. just word of mouth, 1-2-1
discussion, straight lecture, or was paper and pen used, or was a small book
used?)

Challenging? Yes, of course. But if Lob and Modesty could do it, then the
readers of this list should be able to come up with a syllabus.

In case you've forgotten, I repeat below what Peter O'Donnell told us in the two
original sources:


In the comic strip, "In the Beginning", over the course of four frames,
O'Donnell says the following about Lob and his teaching of Modesty:

"he had been a something called a Professor and knew everything"
"They left the camp and through a long summer he began to teach her"
"For four years this strange pair wandered like gypsies through the middle east"
"Often she stole books, so that the old man could teach her more. She soaked up
knowledge eagerly, and he was very content".


We know from the novel, "Modesty Blaise" pp 86-87, that,

"No. I looked after him. In and out of half a dozen refugee and D.P. camps for
about five years " Her eyes were distant, remembering with a shadow of sadness.
"He was Jewish and spoke five languages. He'd been a professor of philosophy at
Budapest. Six hours a day he used to teach me".
"Teach you what"?
"Everything." She drank some coffee. "I hated it at first, but I pretended
to listen, because I didn't want to hurt him. And that was strange, because I
was as hard as nails with anyone else. Then after a while, I became interested
in the things he was trying to teach me." She gave a little shake of her head.
"That old man knew everything, and he knew how to teach."
