About the author

Roger Bacon

Roger Bacon

d. 1294

A 13th-century English friar and scholar, this restless thinker became famous for urging careful observation and experiment at a time when much learning relied on authority alone. His writings range across optics, language, mathematics, and the study of nature, which is why later generations often remembered him as an early champion of scientific inquiry.
