Produktbeschreibung

Volume XIII of the new edition of the works of Francis Bacon (1561-1626) presents seven texts belonging to the last stages of Bacon's hugely influential philosophical reform programme. Three of the texts, sharing a bizarre history of literary theft and feuding, are here published for the first time. All seven are presented in their original Latin with brand new facing-page translations.
