Abstract Summary
Roger Bacon's Scientia experimentalis is driven by a new apocalyptic Christian vision of reform and renovation on earth. It involves the manipulation of light and sight in the production of new technologies of war. It involves a new vision of Chemistry/ Alchemy in the renovation of the human body. Since the body is closely united to the intellectual soul, in a non-Platonic manner, the material, physical world is taken up and transformed in a renewed human world in its return to the divine. This Re-creation of life is the reditus side of the original creation.
