5.0 out of 5 stars The mystical side of a famous Franciscan friar., September 20, 2005

By	An Avid Reader (Sausalito, CA) - See all my reviews

Called Doctor Mirabilis (Latin for "astounding teacher"), there doesn't seem to be an area of science or philosophy this amazing man did not explore. Here is a fine example of Bacon's esoteric thinking. A great read.
