Bereik en inhoud
JSB was aware that WW had a chapter on Roger Bacon in his Inductive Philosophy. WW's account has generated much of the current interest in Roger Bacon's philosophy. JSB is not at present employed on the Opus Majus, but the 'Opus Tertium' and 'Opus Minus'. The MS of these are very rare. Bacon frequently refers to the Opus Majus which is found in the Trinity MS, and JSB would like to see it. He has discovered a 'fine MS of this work at [Badby]'.
