Baconis, de secretis operibus artis et naturae et nullitate magiae (Epistle of Roger Bacon on the Secret Works of Art and of Nature and Also on the Nullity of Magic) about devices that sound like rockets: We can, with saltpeter and other substances, compose artificially a fire that can be launched over long distances... By only using a very small quantity of this material much light can be created accompanied by a horrible fracas. It is possible with it to destroy a town or an army ... In order to produce this artificial lightning and thunder it is necessary to take saltpeter, sulfur, and Luru Vopo Vir Can Utriet. The last five mysterious words make an anagram that conceals the proportion of powdered charcoal needed to make the explosive.

Bacon studied mathematics, astronomy, optics, alchemy, and languages. He was the first European to describe in detail the process of making gunpowder, and he proposed flying machines and motorized ships and carriages. Bacon (as he himself complacently remarked) displayed a prodigious energy and zeal in the pursuit of experimental science; indeed, his studies were talked about everywhere and eventually won him a place in popular literature as a kind of wonder worker. Bacon therefore represents a historically precocious expression of the empirical spirit of experimental science, even though his actual practice of it seems to have been exaggerated.

   Extractions: Send it to a friend! Bacon was an English Franciscan friar, philosopher, scientist and scholar of the 13th century. Roger Bacon's date and place of birth are unknown but he is thought to have come from a relatively wealthy family. He studied and later taught at Oxford University and also taught the University of Paris. Bacon has a wide range of interests. He investigated optics and the refraction of light through lenses, leading to the development of spectacles. He sought reform of the calendar, and was interested in astronomy. In 1266, at the request of Pope Clement IV, he collected many of his observations in his 'Opus Maius', an encyclopaedia of all science. Bacon had a reputation as unconventional scholar, pursuing learning in alchemy and magic - interests which earned him the soubriquet 'Doctor Mirabilis'. This led to his rejection from the Franciscans and eventual imprisonment. He died in Oxford not long after his release.

Z Roger Bacon Biography Roger Bacon (1214-1294), also known as Doctor Mirabilis (Latin: "astounding doctor"), was an English philosopher who placed considerable emphasis on empiricism, and is thought of as one of the earliest advocates of the modern scientific method. Roger Bacon studied at Oxford, lectured on Aristotle and later became a Franciscan friar and a professor at Oxford. He probably took orders in 1233, and crossed over to France to study at the university of Paris, then the centre of intellectual life in Europe. The two great orders, Franciscans and Dominicans, were not long-established, and had begun to take the lead in theological discussion. Alexander of Hales led the Franciscans, while the rival order rejoiced in Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. Bacon's abilities were soon recognised, and he enjoyed the friendship of such eminent men as Adam de Marisco and Robert Grosseteste, bishop of Lincoln. In the course of his teaching and research, he performed and described various experiments. Bacon met the Cardinal Guy le Gros de Foulques, who became interested in his ideas and asked him to produce a comprehensive treatise. Bacon, being constrained by a rule of the Franciscan order against publishing works out of the order without special permission, initially hesitated. The cardinal became Pope Clement IV and urged Bacon to ignore the prohibition and write the book in secret. Bacon complied and sent his work, the Opus Majus, to the pope in 1267. It was followed in the same year by the Opus Minus, a summary of the main thoughts from the first work. In 1268, he sent a third work, the Opus Tertium to the pope, who died the same year. Bacon fell out of favor, and was in fact later imprisoned by the Franciscan order, presumably because of some of his controversial teachings and aggressive style.

    Extractions: Accueil CD-rom des Oeuvres Complètes Dictionnaire philosophique BACON (ROGER) Vous croyez que Roger Bacon, ce fameux moine du xiii e siècle, était un très grand homme, et qu’il avait la vraie science, parce qu’il fut persécuté et condamné dans Rome à la prison par des ignorants. C’est un grand préjugé en sa faveur, je l’avoue; mais n’arrive-t-il pas tous les jours que des charlatans condamnent gravement d’autres charlatans, et que des fous font payer l’amende à d’autres fous? Ce monde-ci a été longtemps semblable aux Petites-Maisons, dans lesquelles celui qui se croit le Père éternel anathématise celui qui se croit le Saint-Esprit; et ces aventures ne sont pas même aujourd’hui extrêmement rares. Parmi les choses qui le rendirent recommandable, il faut premièrement compter sa prison, ensuite la noble hardiesse avec laquelle il dit que tous les livres d’Aristote n’étaient bons qu’à brûler; et cela dans un temps où les scolastiques respectaient Aristote, beaucoup plus que les jansénistes ne respectent saint Augustin.
