1694 1^ed Francis Bacon Natural History Sylva Sylvarum Sapientia Complete Works

“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”

― Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

This impressive 1694 first edition of the works of Bacon includes his most famous treatises including ‘Sylva Sylvarum’, ‘Historia Naturalis’, ‘History of King Henry VII’, and ‘De Sapientia Veterum’, as well as many, many others. And while the contents of this work are desirable, the impressive vellum-bound, folio tome makes this work a truly remarkable piece!
