The Franciscan Roger Bacon (c.1214-92?) was one of the most
significant intellectuals of the thirteenth century. His most
important work was the Opus Majus of 1267 (also available in this
series). The works included in this volume, edited by J. S. Brewer,
had not previously been published, and only one volume of the
unpublished works ever appeared, because of Brewer's other
commitments. The Opus Minus was a precis of the larger work,
written at the same time. The Opus Tertium, written the following
year, was Bacon's attempt to cover topics which he felt had been
omitted, or inadequately explained, in the previous versions; it
also includes autobiographical information. Neither the Opus Minus
or Opus Tertium survive in their entirety, but Brewer includes all
the parts known in 1859. The Compendium Philosophiae deals with
Bacon's wide-ranging intellectual interests in all aspects of
medieval scholarship.
