The "Opus Majus" Of Roger Bacon, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) 12+

📖 Excerpt from The "Opus Majus" Of Roger Bacon, Vol. 2 of 2This 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.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
