Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 29. Chapters: Roger Bacon, Henry Purcell, Robert Fludd, Chris Cutler, John Wallis, George Alexander Macfarren, Thomas Campion, John Playford, Thomas Morley, Donald Tovey, Robert Smith, Christopher Simpson, Alexander John Ellis, Johannes Cotto, Anonymous IV, Robert Holford Macdowall Bosanquet, Matthew Locke, Frederick Ouseley, Thomas Ravenscroft, Francis North, 1st Baron Guilford, John Cooper, William Tans'ur, William Holder, Walter Odington. Excerpt: Roger Bacon, O.F.M. (c. 1214-1294), also known as Doctor Mirabilis (medieval accolade, meaning "wonderful teacher"), was an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who placed considerable emphasis on the study of nature through empirical methods. He is sometimes credited, mainly starting in the 19th century, as one of the earliest European advocates of the modern scientific method inspired by the works of Aristotle and later pseudo-Aristotelian works, possibly of Arabic origins. However, more recent reevaluations emphasize that he was essentially a medieval thinker, with much of his "experimental" knowledge obtained from books, in the scholastic tradition. A survey of the reception of Bacon's work over centuries found that it often reflects the concerns and controversies central to the receivers. Roger Bacon was born in Ilchester in Somerset, possibly in 1213 or 1214 at the Ilchester Friary. The only source for his date of birth is his statement in the Opus Tertium, written in 1267, that "forty years have passed since I first learned the alphabet." The 1214 birth date assumes he was not being literal, and may have meant 40 years had passed since he matriculated at Oxford at the age of 13. If he had been literal, his birth date was more likely to have been around 1220/1222. In the same passage he reports that for all but two of those forty years he had always been engaged in study.
