Roger Bacon, the medieval natural philosopher who broke new ground
in promoting scientific method, produced the encyclopedic Opus
Majus or 'Greater Work' in the mid-thirteenth century. This 1897
publication in two volumes was the first complete edition of the
work to appear in print. Written at the request of Pope Clement IV,
the Opus Majus is the most significant and most influential of
Bacon's works, containing his observations of the natural world and
theories on knowledge acquisition. Bacon's text appears in the
original Latin, and Bridges includes a substantial introduction and
brief analysis of each chapter in English, as well as extensive
footnotes and an analytical table to aid the reader. Volume 1
contains the first four parts of Bacon's treatise with sections on
'Wisdom and Truth', 'The connection of Philosophy with Theology',
'The Study of Language', and 'Mathematical Science'.
