Where it came from
The Opus Majus, originally composed in 1267, stands as the crowning achievement of the Franciscan friar Roger Bacon. Written at the urgent request of Pope Clement IV, the work was intended to serve as a comprehensive survey of the sciences of the time, covering everything from mathematics and optics to linguistics and experimental philosophy. Bacon wrote this encyclopedic treatise as an appeal for a reformed educational curriculum that prioritized empirical observation over the speculative scholasticism prevalent in the medieval university.
This specific edition, published by Thoemmes Continuum in 2000, is a scholarly reprint designed for academic accessibility within the Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy series. The publisher focused on reproducing authoritative texts to support the study of intellectual history, providing students and researchers with a clean, stable version of Bacon’s foundational inquiry into the nature of human knowledge and scientific methodology. It is recognized as a vital resource for those tracing the historical development of the scientific method.
