Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Roger Bacon," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Roger Bacon in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Roger Bacon when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Roger Bacon, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

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.

Excerpt: Kublai or Khubilai Khan (September 23, 1215 February 18, 1294 ) (Mongolian: ; Chinese: ; pinyin: Hbìliè), was the fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire from 1260 to 1294 and the founder of the Yuan Dynasty in China. As the second son of Tolui and Sorghaghtani Beki and a grandson of Genghis Khan, he claimed the title of Khagan of the Ikh Mongol Uls (Mongol Empire) in 1260 after the death of his older brother Möngke in the previous year, though his younger brother Ariq Böke was also given this title in the Mongolian capital at Karakorum. He eventually won the battle against Ariq Böke in 1264, and the succession war essentially marked the beginning of the civil war of the Mongol empire. But the Mongol Empire, as a whole, remained united and strong. Kublai's influence was still strong in the Ilkhanate and Golden Horde, western parts of the Mongol Empire. His realm reached from the Pacific to the Urals, from Siberia to Afghanistan one fifth of the world's inhabited land area. In 1271, Kublai established the Yuan Dynasty, which at that time ruled over present-day Mongolia, Tibet, Eastern Turkestan, North China, much of Western China, and some adjacent areas, and assumed the role of Emperor of China. By 1279, th...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20754760 ... Read more

Extrait : Roger Bacon (1214 - 1294), surnommé Doctor mirabilis (« Docteur admirable ») en raison de sa science prodigieuse, philosophe, savant et alchimiste anglais, considéré comme l'un des pères de la méthode scientifique. Pour lui, , expérience scientifique ou religieuse. - Louis Figuier, Vies et savants illustres Sa vie prête à roman , mais l'historiographie moderne réduit son côté maudit (les emprisonnements), ses innovations (l'invention de la méthode expérimentale). Roger Bacon est né à Lichester, dans le Somerset, en Angleterre, en 1214 (selon Th. S. Maloney). Vers 1228, à presque quatorze ans, il commença ses études à l'université d'Oxford, où il put écouter Edmund Rich d'Abingdon (saint Edme, 1170-1242). Il obtint vers 1236 le grade de maître ès-arts (magister in artibus). On le trouve à Paris, à la Faculté des arts, où il donne un enseignement en 1237. Il rencontra Alexandre de Halès, Guillaume d'Auvergne, Robert Kilwardy, Pierre de Maricourt, Thomas Gallus. Sa première grande période de production court de 1237 à 1250. Alors, il commenta l'oeuvre Aristote, dans des Quaestiones : c'est une nouveauté et une audace, puisque Aristote a été interdit en 1215, 1228, 1231. Il composa sa Summa grammatica, deux traités de logique : Summa de sophismatibus et distinctionibus et Summulae dialectices. Il se fixa à Oxford, de 1247 à 1256, enseignant Aristote. Il étudiait Adam de Marsh (Adam de Marisco, 1200-1259), théologien, homme de loi,...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
