Doctor Mirabilis: Roger Bacon’s legend and legacy

Abstract Roger Bacon (1214?-1292?) has been portrayed in three ways since his death: as a figure of legend, as a Victorian scientist ahead of his time and as an overrated individual with little impact on the development of science. The evidence suggests that Bacon was in reality a significant proto-scientist, but very much a man of his time.
