Opus Majus Of Roger Bacon Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Opus Majus Of Roger Bacon Vol. 2 of 2<br><br>This passage comes from the Magd. Ms. And is not found in the other mss. Of Perspective: which have come to my knowledge. The first reference to Aristotle is 1 suppose to Nat. Auscult. Lib. Ii. Cap. 2 where Optic (òwmm''y) is spoken of as a distinct science. And is classed with Harmonic and Astronomy in opposition to pure mathematic. The expression subalterna/ur res is Obscure. The second reference is to De Sansa et 5msalo cap. 2. This apparently is the work which Bacon speaks of as ''translatus in Latinum.''<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
